How to Set Up a Chicken Run For Your Backyard Flock

Описание: The chicken run, it's the space where your chicken flock will spend most of their time during the day. This video will tell you everything you need to set up your flock-approved run. Even though my chickens have free range access to my entire backyard all day, they still spend a large amount of time each day hanging out in their run. I'll go over locating your run in your backyard, what sort of shelter and shade chickens needs, what type of fencing I think works the best, and how to keep their water clean.
After spending quite a lot of time (and money!) on trying out different fencing systems, I've settled on using the portable extruded plastic mesh fence made by Omlet. You don't have to use their brand though, the mesh is available to buy and you can use it with fiberglass stakes or some other sort of post in order to make your own fence. I just liked being able to get everything I needed for the fence in one box.
