  • redesigning my 9m run, ideas?

    will post a picture of the current one, but I am currently using Heras 4m wide fencing. Great if theres no wind or rain water bowing them down.

    so I have the thought to reduce the width to 8ft from 4 metres, extend the length to 13 metres and roof part or all - perhaps replace the heras with wooden framed and wire.

    I was worried though by roofing the whole lot with metal corrigated sheets would the chucks get enough light

    I have 9 chucks (naughty got myself 4 more 19week old flapping, nervous, flightly warrens today)

    I have to get it right this time and plastic sheeting and heras are proving okay but ot great in the weather conditions we have here as they are usually full on and changeable

    You might not have to roof the whole run, if they can get out of the rain and wind somewhere they should be happy. They can come out again when its stopped blowing a hooley. Mine go under the coop, inside it in very bad weather but soon pop out again when its calmer.
