    Need advice on roosting bars

    Ok, thanks! I have 5 standard sized birds...do you think 1 bar would suffice or will 2 be necessary? I’ve read I should have 12” of space for each bird on the bar, but it’ll only span 36”.

Anywho, so did you just staple your...

    What base to use for sand in covered run

    Hi all! My hubs and I (let's be honest, it's mostly him:lol:) are building a variation of the Wichita Cabin coop which has a covered run, and my plan is to put sand in as the run floor.

    Great, thanks! Another question; do you keep the water in the run or in their house?
