Awesome, thank you so much. I think I might try to add 3.5 feet to the coop, but we’ll see. I’m going to post a thread asking for suggestions in a bit.
When we got the coop, it said it would hold 6-8 chickens... I suppose it was wrong, what should I do? They are still small, so it’s not too crowded, and they always have access to the run during the day....
The coop has a built in run, which we extended. The built in run does have a roof, but the fenced in area doesn't. I have been getting up in the morning to let the chickens out of the coop, and going out at night once they are all inside. Should we consider roofing the fenced area? If so, how...
Hi! I'm Emily, and I have 5 12-week old pullets. They stay in the run most of the day, which is aprx 95sq feet. (fenced in because we live in the countryside-suburbs)
I have heard that the deep litter method can amount to up to 12 inches of compost, and I just don't know if there is enough...
