Hey Allan,
We used to have chickens when I lived in the country out near Salinas, CA. The foxes and the Bobcats put an end to them a couple times, got tired of the mayhem so didn't replenish the herd and moved into the city, Pacific Grove, CA.
A word to the wise. There are predators and it would be wise to make the lid to the egg nesting boxes secure with a locking mechanism. I did and still have claw marks from the Bobcats. it might also be a good idea to reinforce the chicken wire, but do not know what your situation is with respect to predators. good luck, i loved them while we had them. I'd let them out in the day and pen them up at night. My coop was stationary, but i like the idea of being able to move the coop about.
There's nothing like a fresh egg.
