Hi,
We will be taking over a small flock of 4 laying hens from downsizing relatives. I am new to chicken keeping, so could I get a critique of my planned care routine.
Daily:
Morning:
Let chickens out of coop into run
Check food and water levels
Clean poop off dropping boards
Check for any issues/injuries with flock
Afternoon:
Let out of run and free range in backyard
Evening:
Back in coop for night
Check water (using external water with chicken nipples into run)and feed levels
Weekly:
Change bedding in coop and nest boxes
Rake up soil in run
Clean any poop
Clean waterer and feeder
Monthly:
Deep clean coop, run and feeder/waterer
Thanks!
