Okay so I have 3 chickens. A 6x8 coop and a 21x7 ft run. The run has sand for easy cleaning. My chickens hate the run. They pace, squwacklike crazy and even peck each other when they're in the run for even a short period and god forbid you should leave them locked up in the coop too long in the am. They never have a single problem when they are out in the yard.
Are they just spoiled? I let them out to free range, but I only have 1/4 acre and I also have dogs that need to go out so they can't be out ALL day.
Is my run too boring for them because of the sand or are they just trying to take advantage of me?
What does everyone else put in their runs?
Thanks
Claudia
