Since we only have our one chicken for the time being, I'm thinking about using our dog's unused, large plastic kennel as a coop... I was thinking to place newspaper on the bottom and have hay in the back as bedding. Our 8-9 week old pullet would only be in the kennel/coop at night. Would this arrangement work? Do I need to put something in the kennel for her to roost on? I currently have the kennel in our sun room which has open but screen windows (so lots of fresh air). Do I need to have a blanket covering the side holes of the kennel to help keep her warm on colder mornings?
