In the Brooder
Ok, new to this whole chicken thing.. as per my intro, I bought a house and it came with chickens so, suddenly I'm a chicken owner, lol.
My setup is a small-ish coop (maybe 4' x 10' or so) with an attached run (approx 6' x 6') which is covered. I have a dozen chickens. Oh, and I live in BC, Canada so we've got serious winter to contend with.
I'd like to give the girls a little box of some kind for them to dust bathe in, but really have no idea what to use, or how big, or where to locate it (inside the coop, or out)... help?? At this point, I'm just looking for something really simple and inexpensive... come spring we can reevaluate and get a little more elaborate if necessary.
Thanks!
