I am going to buy 2 chickens and want to build a 6' x 6' run to go with the house - help?

Question

I have already purchased a nice house and whilst the chooks will mostly be free range in the garden, i wanted a sort of penning area. Whats the best solution for this? There seem to be quite a few solutions and all at different costs

Answer 1

2x4's and chicken wire.

Answer 2

I used a 50' roll of 4' high chicken wire and steel fence posts. You may need to clip their wings for when you want to keep them inside the run.

Answer 3

If you have a look on ebay for rabbit runs these will be ideal just bigger, you could follow the design from there.
