Hi there,
I am building a permanent deep litter run, about 7m2 in area, excluding the coop. Unfortunately this is the biggest I can make it due to difficult terrain and huge boulders.
I was wondering if two chickens would be happier, with more space, or if three chickens would be happier...
For those of us who measure temperatures INSIDE the coop, do you have a "goal minimum temp" for the winter? While many factors influence the necessity of heating a coop (range of outdoor temp, size of flock and coop, breed/health/age of bird, coop insulation etc.), it seems that complicated...
