I have a few questions!!!
1. I live in michigan and it gets cold!!! Will they go outside at all?
2. When people talk about dust bath material they keep saying DE. What is that?
3. Should dust baths, feed and water be inside the hen house at all times? Or just during the winter?
4. Can I use sticks as perches?
AND LAST
Built my hen house and run..will have 9 hens... House is 8'x6'x7' tall... 5 nest boxes at 12" wide, deep and high and 18" off the floor...perches are 3' off the floor and 2 at 6' long
Run is 8'x14'x7' tall..... Does all this sound correct and big enough for 9 hens and could it be enough room for more in the future?
Sorry for all the questions but thank you!!!!
