I have bought my hens a lovely new shed for them to live in, this will give them a bit more room if they want to stay inside on rainy or wintery days.
As with most sheds the flooring is sheet chipboard and not the best if it gets wet, I want to put some covering over the floor to protect it but nothing that will provide a home for red mites. I have some rolls of felt that I could use, I also have some bitumen that I can use to glue the felt down. The felt would then be covered with sawdust.
Do you think this would cause any problems, does anyone have any other suggestions?
