extending run today

So can I use the wood chips in the coop too? Or just stick to pine shavings?

thank you! I’m very excited to try this out Hey extra perk is adding wood chips to the gardens as well right 😁

Just set up my first delivery thank you! husbands gunna kill me 😁

I’m going to look into wood chips. I believe we have a pile somewhere a couple towns over for free

I am so upset at not going with my gut instinct and building the same sized run outside. However, it’s an easy fix I’ll just add another two 10ft boards and make another door 😁 I want them to be happy chickens for sure . Thank you so much I appreciate all the advice

I might look into a chicken swing or something that way they are outta the way and they can still have fun? Lol Oo okay yes I was going to try out the deep litter method

Hello first time chicken owner of 15. This is a 8x10 chicken run built from 2x4s and cattle panels, attached to the side of the shed. I would like to know if the roosting perch’s in there are in a good position. I have yet to cut their little chicken door which I read is supposed to be 6inches...
