I have 4 tufted buff's born on May 20th. I was moving them around in a cage on my lawn to keep them on grass and away from dog and predators but they got to big for it. (4'x8') Not to mention it wasn't very great looking for the lawn. So i moved them into my coop. It is a two part coop with two runs measuring 11'x22'. They have a kiddy pool and plenty of room but no grass now.
So my questions are
a) what kind of grass would be best to plant in the runs. I have considered sod even though it will probably run around $200 for the entire project.
b) is there any kind of fodder like alfalfa or grain hay i should be giving them while the grass grows.
Also does anybody know how long it takes for them to start laying eggs, and what kind of nesting materials or box i should provide them?
