Hi All,
I have recently started keeping 3 Light Sussex hens. All seem happy and starting to become more confident (I have had them for 5 days now).
The perching area where they sleep is around 4.5sq ft not including the nesting boxes. During daylight hours they have access to their run which is 175sq ft.
My question is whether the sleeping area is big enough for them at the moment and for when they're fully grown (they're currently aged between 16-18 weeks)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I would be intrigued to hear any of your experiences with Light Sussex's and how friendly, hardy etc. they are.
Thanks in advance.
Alex
