I'm about to start building a coop for the chickens I'm planning on getting.They are going to be at the bottom of a farmyard,in an area backing onto open fields/paddocks.It is rife with foxes here,so they will have to be well protected during the day & shut up overnight.The area itself is about 80ft x 50ft,and I really need to move them about on it to prevent parasite build up ect.
The coop itself shouldn't be much of a problem,but to stop them wandering/being eaten,I'm not sure what to use-wire fencing,electric fencing or both,so any suggestions would be very welcome.Thankyou.
