The BFS is the big cool-looking thing on top of the BFB (in case youâre getting Big Fucking Confusedâthe Big Fucking Spaceship (BFS) on top of the Big Fucking Booster (BFB) together make what Iâve been calling the Big Fucking Rocket (BFR)).
Also, feeders and waterers (if you leave them in the coop overnight) should not be placed under the roosts, nor should the nesting boxes. Learn more about composting chicken manure. Width â Chicken roosting bars should be at least 2 inches wide and preferably 4 inches wide. Chickens donât wrap their feet around a perch like wild birds do. They actually prefer to sleep flat-footed.
Chickens need at the minimum 4 sq ft per bird inside AND 10 sq ft outside in a run. 10ft x 10ft = 100 sq ft / 4 sq ft/chicken = 25 chickens.If they have no outside run you need to consider far less chickens. have another coop that has an inside insulated area that is about 12X12 and two 12X12 fenced with chicken wire areas that connect..(some one use ot use it as a cat house lol, but its perfect for chickens!). The horses and cows and dogs keep any real threats away during the day. Reply. Reply.
