Change of plans

After Lilly escaped the run yesterday morning (did not think about the 10ft of 4x4 fence) I spent the morning putting a foot tall layer of chicken wire up. When I peeked in on them later 1 saw 3 on the ledge of the nest boxes (of course) but I didn't see Lilly anywhere, I opened the coop door and she was in the nest box with Maribel, smdh...still no outside action but everyone gets along in the coop

Are those cattle panels? They look very strong.

It's 4x4 livestock fence, our whole yard is fenced in it, it's very sturdy and pretty affordable, $300 per 330ft

Love it! Was looking for something strong enough to keep the dogs out of thr garden, especially if the chickens are cleaning it out in the spring & fall!

Yesterday was quite eventful! Lemon squash is up, so excited because we love this stuff! And so are the blott peppers! Still need to get pics, but got sidetracked with mowing and chickens after work In the last picture that is lagertha (FBCM) behind my 2yr old WTB Betty, she is really big! They are 9 weeks old as of yesterday

Yep, it's a new run so I expect it'll be like the old one, lol, but I plan on doing a separate section to grow grass then open it back up, I'll rotate the run

That's what we do.
We have an outer run that we section parts off to grow grass and clover in. Once it's good to go we let the chickens back in. Doesn't take them long to destroy it. LOL
We close it off and reseed.
