Hi
I am wondering how much sunlight chickens need? I have a 10 x10 dog run that I want to put 2 chickens in.(2 is all Im allowed). It is situated under a huge ash tree and is covered in virginia creeper so it gets very little direct sunshine. Mostly just a little early morning sun.... then shade the rest of the day.I am planning on putting a small coop inside the run.
I would also like to know if the larger breeds fly much? I am looking at Australopes, Brahmas,Black Jersey Giants ect. I love those really big chickens.
I have been reading on this site and the pet chicken site as well but havent seen anything regarding the amount of light they need.
thanks for the help
