That's funny to me, when I first started getting chickens here, my husband said to keep them out in the big shed, I though it was a crazy idea, but it worked out great and has given me lots of room to keep lots of chickens which seems to help prevent a lot of problems.@brandola
Would you describe your coop/run set up - established flock size and age & if they free range?
@oldhenlikesdogs
Thanks for the description. It seems that folks with larger, multiple coops and free ranging space have an easier time than those of us without that "luxury".
