RE: [CHICKENS-101] Re: Cage size

 

The first link shows basically short cages. There is no cover from weather.
Do I need to worry about keeping them out of the rain etc?

Hi,
I have raised meat birds, Cornish Cross, a number of times and think 10x10
will probably be too small of a space for that many birds.

After brooding them, a kennel like structure will be good, especially in the
spring and summer.

I am attaching a few web pages with some coops that will work for meat
birds.

Also, meat birds do not usually roost.
Meat birds pretty much eat, poop and sleep. Mostly eat and poop. LOL

Good luck and have fun,
Beth
