Hello everyone,
I was directed to this forum when asking a question about chickens. Recommended as helpful
I want to find out what size I need per chicken for only sleeping quarters. I plan to put them out in tractors in the day but want them safely locked up at night. We have a lot of wildlife here.
What would be the best size?.... comfy but snug
How high must the roosting pole be off the floor?
Can the roof above the roosting pole be low... I heard it stops them crowing because cannot stretch up high so can't crow. Is this true?
How thick should this roosting pole be?
Should they be housed individually or will they be happier together in a group? What number is best?
Must food be available at night or only water?
What is the best way to give water at night?
I would appreciate any input.
Thanks
