Disecky
Chirping
We are trying to finish our chicken setup and are wondering if putting a cement floor down in the 8x8 run is the best idea. The coop is 4x8x8. I have tons of fresh local woodchips mixed with leaves. Deep litter method is my goal. will having cement entail more frequent cleaning? We live in New England. Run will have roof, and hardware cloth wrap, gaps covered.
I am planning on 8-12 chickens. With one being a roo.
5 are silkies,
3 lavender Orpington,
1 blue Orpington,
1 sexlink,
1 Easter Egger,
1 lace wyandotte.
I am waiting to see sex of the silkies so this number might drop. I can reduce the number if this is too many chickens for my space. Not sure if I will be able to free range.
