Hi everyone,
Great reading on here and already picked up some great tips.
So forgive me for being a bit of a newbie and probably asking some very daft and probably obvious questions.
I got my first house / run and 2 chickens (a brown one and a black one....hehe I forgot what breed they are except the man said they were good beginners birds) last week built my house and the hens are now looking happy in thier new home.
I only have a smalll garden so the house had to go on a concrete area I had, I hope to let them roam free after a few weeks but should I cover the concrete in anything such as bark chips so they can scratch about ?
How often should I be cleaning the outside area they seem to be making tonnes of mess and there is pellets everywhere so I end up cleaning everyday. The inside of thier house seems pretty clean still is that ok to be cleaned every 4-5 days ?
Errm thinks thats all the questions I can think of for the moment although I am sure I will bombard you with more later.
Thanks in advance
