If you raise chickens it is essential that you keep them safe and protected which also will protect your expenses. The initial thing you should do is decide what form of coop you will have. Is a simple post and wire pen will work or do you need something more secure exactly like a hen house with a lock to assure predators can't enter in the evening.
A post and wire pen in certainly the best convenient way to go and surely would be adequate for them to run around in throughout the day if in a relatively safe area and evenly as the name states these are simply posts with wire fencing around it. If you opt to set up your unique pen you will need a hammer, a crowbar, a sledgehammer, and a crowbar. You can pay for the posts as a bundle and buy wire and staples. These can all be shopped at your local Lowes or Home Depots.
To begin you should utilize the crowbar to dig the spaces to put each post into the ground and use the sledgehammer to hammer the post extra into the ground. The length of the post will determine how far into the ground they should go, and you should remember that it can't be too low or your barnyard fowls will fly the mew for real ... Once you have all the posts firmly installed in the ground you will take the wire cut to size and fasten to every pole with the staples. When you're all completed look for any loosened posts or loose staples and use the hammer to correct these.
Voila ... You have the perfect yard for your chickens to stay in!
