Care Notes
It is very easy to keep hens, it is however important to have the correct setup. Good fencing is vital when keeping poultry to keep predators out at all times. There are plenty of smart predators that will take the opportunity to get into your flock
My recommendation is PVC coated welded wire mesh, it’s a perfect fence for poultry keepers. Having plenty of water is crucial for their quality of life, egg production and overall health. Keeping their water clean is also very important. It helps to ensure your chickens stay healthy by drinking the water you provide and avoiding disease caused by bad water
