Hello,
guess those questions have been asked a few times, but before I swing into action and turn timber offcuts into a nice chicken hut I better ask.
Ok, we are 2 people, so 2 chooks shall do, one on its own will go mad?
House I think about 4 x 4 feet, nest box 1 x 1 foot?
Then I fence in a rather big area. Planted native grass, but neighbours introduced nasties are invading, so may as well the chooks tix them up. There is a small lemon tree, shall I include it or will the chooks kill it?
They are happy with grass and food scraps and then I just have to add some grain?
What about the calcium for the shells?
Thanks!
Steffen
