Hello ,
Been using coop as brooder . Today was their first day in run, sunshine and freedom enjoyed by all. Cleaned out coop . When I put them to bed, should I move feeder and water back inside? Can I leave food and water in run only?
thank you,
Pawster
Gravel over a concrete slab presently. This run has a roof 6’ x 16’ . Should I cover gravel with crushed pine straw , pine straw, hay, mulch, pea gravel, crushed limestone...? The gravel layer is for drainage allowance . 1 month old chicks will soon inhabit.
thanks for the help.
