Well iv decided i am getting some now and im look for a few ideas for there sleeping quaters, iv got a six by four shed and was planning to put the sleeping quaters at the back of the shed. So any of you chicken owners could post a pic up or two of your setups or give me any ideas it would be much appreciated. many thanks staffy-1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
