One of the most important aspects of keeping chickens is certainly the animal-friendly coop. Especially in times of compulsory cooping, it becomes clear whether a chicken coop really offers the chickens everything they need. The less free range the animals have, the more important things are such as enough space in the coop, light and brightness, good air supply, etc. There are also often questions about the perches, for example: How high do you have to put the perches for the chickens and should all the perches be at the same height or is it better to put them at different heights? Questions upon questions to which there is not always a clear answer, but which I will try to explain as usefully as possible. The chicken breeds shown in this episode are: Leghorn (both purebred and hybrid) Orpington chickens Pita Pinta Asturiana Serama bantams Bantam Welsumer Sulmtaler Altsteirer Bantam Altsteirer Steinpiperl (Austrian bantams) and also some Soda chickens again Robert Höck December 2016 #chickenkeeping #happychicken #chickensinthegarden #chickencoop #chickens #chickenbreeding #chickenlove
