hi friends,
i have a good back yard and several several location options for the coop. i'll have 4 hens.
• i have a large area behind an old carriage house that's already partially fenced but it's close to the neighbors' deck and i worry that there will be an odor that might bother them. there is no water or electricity back there either.
• the yard itself has several clear areas where i could build but i'm not sure if i want to take up such a large chunk of my lawn with a structure right out there in the middle of it.
• i have a huge deck that is 9 feet off the ground. this, i think would be ideal, as i could use the posts as framing and the bottom of the deck to pin some corrugated roof panels to. it's right outside the kitchen and has immediate access to water and electricity. but again, i worry about the odor. i'd hate to have folks over this summer for noodle salad and mai tais only to have the aroma of hen poop wafting about.
can you please advise me? perhaps assuage my concerns about the smell?
(i can't figure out how to easily access my thread, so i welcome direct email: [email protected])
thank you!
