I live in Washington state and of course the rain has started. I was thinking about putting a few wood pallets down outside in the chicken run, just so they have the option of not being on the ground. The coop inside is nice and dry with shavings nice and thick, I clean under their roost every...
Thanks for responding. Their pen outside is completed surrounded with wire, so they are nice and safe. One of them today poked her head out and pecking at a few bugs right by the opening, so hopefully it won't be long. They have a huge inside coop which they love, went to a yard sale and bought...
