Too long a story to recount here, but...
I'm picking up two rescue hens tomorrow. They will be tested and quarantined far from my current flock (I've posted the story elsewhere). I will practice best biosecurity I can goven the situation. I need quick, temporary housing advice.
Here are the options:
1) Buy something for them quickly.
2) Try to predator proof my brooder, which is a large cage (3x4) for small animals.
3) Put windows and hardware cloth on old dog house (2×3).
4) Do something else entirely that I haven't thought of but you'll suggest.
They will have access to a small run during the day.
What should I do? Thanks!
