Don’t Just House Hens Give Them a Home
On winter farms hens need a home not just a house, stressing light, dryness, ventilation and cleanliness. A well built, affordable, easy to clean hen home should be south facing with good sunlight, removable curtains, proper height, and dry, well drained floors. Regular cleaning, white washing and periodic disinfection prevent lice and disease, making hens more productive and a farm asset.
