Hi,
I have a pre fab coop very similar to the one below and i was just wondering if anyone who also has one similar to this could answer a few questions I have.
Firstly, i only have 2 chickens and i want another one because i think they need another friend by what i have been reading. I can only fit 2 chickens on the perches, has anyone got any ideas how i can fix that to fit another chicken???
Also because its to small in winter the rain makes the soil in the run muddy and smelly, just wondering has anyone made anything that can be put over the wire that stops most of the rain getting in in winter. ive thought of putting shade cloth around it of plexiglass. The chickens roam around during the day and i have a problem with pest birds eating there food during the day, anyone else encountered this??
The chickens only use the perch closest to the back and the one up the top is too close to the door and they cannot sit on it properly. just wondered if anyone has encountered this problem and fixed it??
