We've all been there. That horrible hot summer night that doesn't cool down- with no air moving and a bunch of chickens who refuse to spread out on the roost, though they're all panting with their wings dropped at their sides.
When I was designing the coop, I didn't find anything about Poultry...

And if anyone has a 50metre fence could I please have a photo to see an estimate of how big it is.
So, I currently have quail. But, they're attracting too many predators ( long story ) that my chickens/ducks never did. I also have chickens (a soon to be Wyandotte breeding project).
I plan on recycling an old coop and designing one like this (going to be 4x8 feet). Initially, it was meant for...

My father was told by orschlens and our local coop that they add something/medication (don't ask me what!) to all their poultry feeds except the wild gamebird feed. I'm not sure what it is or what it treats (again, second hand info (ranting) from my father!) But he said the guy at the coop said...
