Hi all! I have had chickens for 2 years and this summer I wanted to put in a exhaust fan for them. I need one that is on the small size so I can put it above the door so it isn’t right above their roosts. I also need it to be under $40 if possible. Any suggestions would be great!!
thanks!

finishing up our external nesting box and trying to figure out if I should put in dividers. Was thinking maybe vinyl curtain dividers like I am doing on the front of the box. We have 9 chicks and built the box to have 4 individual boxes in case we get more chickens. I want to have the dividers...
When do you have to give chicks grit? We have 2 wk old chicks and they ate some crickets and it was like Christmas for them!! Do I need to give them some grit now?
