    Breeding cage height question

    I will build in future cage that looks similar to this and I was thinking is it ok if the height of single section is 50cm or 55cm. 2ft to me is not good because If I make it 2ft that equals to 180cm + room for cleaning trays(10cm x 3(legs on bottom)). It would be for standards.

    Is stinging nettle really that good for chickens?

    I looked up on few sites and I all of them said different things. One said that stinging nettle is around 20-30% in protein which I find unbelivable. Is it really that high in protein, how much it actually has? Is it good for chickens? Thanks
