Do any of you keep a space for healing chickens in your coop or run? I have been keeping them inside, but I am getting super sick of it. I use one of those rugged plastic dog crates, and I feel confident that it’s bullying-proof, but I don’t know whether it’s predator proof.
If keeping them outside the house, I have two questions:
1) Will the view of their usual space and flock make them frustrated?
2) Coop space being a bit limited, is it a bad idea to keep the crate in the run? Assuming I can keep it dry, is the dog crate setup too exposed to the elements and/or predators?
