That s fine, it is up to who ever is building the coop, If they like the look of the branches as I do, then they can use them and if they have to change them out every year or two that is not that big of a job, Two screws on each of mine and there out, replace with two screws and I am done, Half hr job and that inculdes cutting new branch to size.
I was just thinking the same thing.
However, I think both are valid and useful information in order for someone to choose what is best for their schedule/maintenance level, financial budget, ability level, etc.
Me, for example, I try to research multiple views and plan according to what meets my level and commitment at this time.
- I’m fully disabled with depression and lupus, and I’m overweight.
-I’m literally below poverty level income.
-I’m creative.
At the moment, the largest part of my budget has gone to the beginning bird purchases from lamps, food, feeders, etc.
Each month I only have a little to spend on more than the feed I know I’ll need.
I buy what I can, like nails and wood to add to repurposed furniture, for now.
I always budget in a tub of mealworms.
But sometimes, when I have extra, I do my best to get the next level I’d like to achieve.
To be honest, I never thought of finding some branches to make natural roosts, and now my mind has just opened to more possibilities for my financial commitment.
I think that is theBEST thing about BYC and having chickens overall.
There are benefits for everyone, depending on their own situation and circumstance.
I
that it’s possible for all people to have.
Chickens and a dream.
