We live in a fairly predator heavy rural area. I have lots of space for my hens to free range, but I am worried. Could I build a portable run (something like a pvc 6x10'), for only day time use, to take advantage of our space? Their coop/run has ample room, but perhaps clean up would be less for me - yet benefit the chickens with new ground.
How do you balance the free ranging risk?
