I have raised meat birds and they didn't leave the run once they got a little older. I tried to get them to free range when they were older but they got to lazy. I just treat them the way the other birds are and then process them when you are ready. Mine did roost while they were young.
I know this is not a new thread but I just found lice or mites on my birds and I am using the deep litter method for my birds to help keep them warm I used wood ashes on the hay under the roosts How am I supposed to clean the whole coop in the middle of the winter? no idea what to do .
