Thanks for the information. We still have to build the run for them. We finished the coop part. I bought some plastic bins at Dollar Tree to use for the nesting boxes as I was reading that they are easier to clean out and less apt to draw bugs from the wood. Any suggestions as to what I should put in the boxes, hay? wood chips? I know they are too young yet, but I'm trying to get it all straightened out before hand.
