    Giving chicks to broody hens

    Lowest roost is higher than nest boxes, they are off to both sides and stick out of the coop. Lowest roost is 14” off of ground each subsequent is 10” higher. The roosting bar is 6 foot long.

    Bush beans and pole beans question?

    Pole beans usually do produce more but if you have a tight space bush beans are great. I actually find the bush beans more tender. Watering schedule should be the same as pile beans. Bush beans are fast growers so there is still time for a harvest this year if you want. 😁
