So I will be ordering 3 chickens in April 1 Welsummer rooster and 2 hens with him. First off how much space in their run do they need ( i.e. Sq-ft per bird)? Second their run will have a roof on it so they can go out in the rain, since I have heard chickens don't like to get wet. So my second question is, what is a good material to use as the floor of their run? I am looking for something that does not have to be cleaned very often and is inexpensive that is fun for them to dig around in. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
