Coop security advice
Our take
Coop security is no joke when it comes to keeping your feathered friends safe! Using an old dog run as a run for your chickens can be a cluck-tastic idea, but it’s essential to ensure that any gaps—especially around the door—are properly secured. Chickens may have a knack for sneaking out or inviting unwanted visitors in, so reinforcing those gaps is a smart move. Look for ways to add additional wiring or barriers that maintain door accessibility while keeping your coop secure.
