    Wow amazing! This is so helpful. I have a question about the perch, maybe you'd be able to answer. As my coop is relatively small, i'm not sure how to build this? how many "levels" do they need? how much space in between the levels? does it need to go all the way to the floor of the coop? is it...

    Wow that's great advice!! thank you so much, i really appreciate it! I will definitely share pictures of our hens when we get them! just a follow up question, with the fans, won't that create a lot of dust in the air in the coop?

    Thank you!!! Yes there's wire at the bottom right now, we did that as to protect the hens from predators but we're realizing now that it's not a great idea, their nails will get stuck. We need to cut that and make an apron at the base of the run. Thank you for being so encouraging, it really...

    Ohhh that's really good advice. Thanks. Now with the run, is this considered deep litter? Do you just need to keep adding more and clean it out 2x a year?

    So then in that case, if I left it without a roof, should I do sand or deep litter? Or neither? (Lowest maintenance as possible)

    Yes! Haha But for the run if there isn't a roof, will the run get all muddy and gross?
