My Blue Andalusion has the "hairy" legs also. So any insight would be greatly...
I built this really large run for my first three chickens (10x10). 1 week later I added five more chickens to the flock and started building the coop. Once I had the underside of the coop fenced in I opened it to the chickens from inside the run. They were ecstatic to get in and enjoy the new...
