 |
|
Didnt have enough bricks so my dad built it with wood.
its 6ft by 4 ft and 4ft high (the back is 6ft so the roof is sloping)
first a frame was made then fencing panels were attached to the frame - looks good but theres a few holes here and there.
Bit woried about mites, whats the best way to avoid mites, ive got poultry shield and diatom. the frame is not treated just panels, the hens already moved in
any ideas would be great, thanks |

| Hi Sakib, you could try treating the whole thing with Creosote or wood preservative, inside & out. You would have to move the chooks for a few days though. |
