Hi
Ok I know I asked this before but I don't recall if it was this site or I got an answer.
I have finally persuaded DP to get on with building me a larger chicken run to be permanent (so I can get me more chooks
)
Anyway, we are now discussing
what is required. I think a roof on the run would be good as the ground would not turn into a swamp, and poo picking would be easier.
I also read that being on the same ground all the time means the poo will gradually pollute the ground so it has to be sterilised occasionally.
DP just wants to make a small roofed area they can go in the rain.
But I will be the one clearing them out
S0 - do your chooks have roofs - what do you think is best?
How do you clean them out and how often do you sterlise the ground - and what do you use?
