hi there everyone! i just joined and don't have my chickens yet, but will as soon as i can get my coop up and running!!
we bought 8 acres in the forest and the guy had a bunch of aviaries where he raised wild birds. here's a picture of the one i want to use as a run:
so what i'm thinking is that i need to attach the coop to the side of the aviary so when they are inside they can just walk right up to it. plus i will have a little door for myself to take eggs. i also plan on fencing in the whole area around the area so they can go out and just graze or whatever chickens do all day...
so what do you all think?
