Howdy folks,
Chicken coop is nearly done. Most of the stuff on the outside is complete. Just a couple of small items and paint. On to the inside.
Hopefully this week I will get far enough along to think of nests and roosts.
Roughly 20 years ago while in my 20's I kept chickens. Or maybe tortuered them would be more accurate. These birds are much tougher than one would imagine. Figured this time I would ask a few questions.
How far do you set your rooosts of the wall?
What are the pros and cons of round versus flat roosts of 2x4s?
Any one using 5 gallon buckets for nests? Seems these would be perfect.
Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
Chris
