I have to keep my chickens in a pen. It’s roomy and they seem to love it. We have way too many raccoons, many of which I’ve seen in the daytime, as well as foxes and other predators.
Mine should start laying in September. Can’t wait!!
Coyotes used to loved to come to chicken dinner here. They got 30 one night. Then we got a Great Pryenees, have not lost any thing since. She keeps all the animal safe.
