chickens in barns?
« on: July 23, 2009, 09:44:38 pm »
Hi from a newbie

I have a large barn wich is not really used at the moment

do you think it would be a  suitable place to lock up my

4 free range chooks at night. it seems fox proof.

Should be OK, but perhaps section a bit of it off or they'll poo all over it.  They'll need something to roost on too - maybe an old shelving unit?  Mine used to be in a barn when I lived in my last place but I still had a shed inside it and they went inside that at night - maybe they liked the security
