    Plastic Barrel Coop

    Hi I’m making a coop at the moment but was wonderingly if I could have other people’s thoughts on it When I had chickens before I converted an old 8 x 4 shed into a chicken coop which worked quite well at first and being new to keeping chickens I didn’t have a clue about Red Mites! So when I...
