Thanks for all the posts! I think I can get free sawdust and shavings from a saw mill nearby.. What does the seven do>? I assume keeps it clean of bugs?
I have heard a lot of things to use, one is sawdust, that works good but can get costly, someone said fireplace ashes.. How often do you clean the droppings? any other ideas on keeping the smell down and keeping it covered?
Thanks! Bawk Bawk
Ok, so the outdoor run will need to have protection over the top, Yes I am sure we have redtail hawks here.. I heard also you need to bury the fence an inch or so so nothing digs in
I am getting ready to start building our chicken setup, we have a nice big pole barn to house the coop in, but my question, I want to make a good size chicken run, maybe 20 x 40 feet, how high should the fence be to protect them from predators? we do live in the country. what type of fencing is...
