Is it ok to hens off roost in the evening to apply DE and Poultry dust

Love your coop!!!! I really cant help with your run issue. Its a problem for a lot of people. I will say that open top even with the netting will be easy pickings for four footed predators.(fox, coyote etc.) For that reason I made our run wood frame, long and narrow with a removable top that...- chickenfever417

Chickens love to scratch and they will send sand flying right out of the run. Does not have to be that high, maybe 5 or 6 inches??? I only bring...- chickenfever417
