Yes the person who made the plans said it needed to rest on brick or cement. I think she also was trying to protect animals from coming in.
@FridayYet how often do you recommend cleaning if? Also to clean do you take the straw out and rake the top layer of sand ?? Or have to hose down sand all the time? Sorry I'm new at this and want to make sure I'm doing this right :)
@OrganicFarmWife no we just moved here and we don't have a garden yet. I plan on having one in the spring. I can get sand though at a local store. So put sand down with straw on top? Or just sand ?
@FridayYetOk thank you- yes I will let them out but need to build a type of enclosed area because my yard is very open and we do see Hawks so afraid they will swoop down and get them.
Yes it's wood. Will put down rubber. For the run I have a brick bottom. Do I pour dirt on top of the brick? Or sand? Something else? What do you suggest?
Hi :)
I am a 1st time chicken owner and getting ready to transition my 6 chicks to my coop. I'm so confused Bc reading so many different opinions on what to put in my coop and run. I'm outside of Los Angeles and its high 50s/60s during day and 30s at night.
Coop (wood bottom)-- shavings...
