Got questions about chicken coops? You’re not alone — and you’re in the right place.
In this episode, CJ tackles the most common questions she hears from new and seasoned chook-keepers alike. Whether you’ve already got hens or are still in planning mode, you’ll get clear, no-fluff answers to the coop conundrums we all face.
We cover:
How much space your chickens actually need
Whether you can keep hens in a suburban backyard
How to stop your coop from smelling
If you really need a rooster
The best coop floor options
Predator-proofing musts
And whether chickens need to free-range every day
It’s like a cuppa with your chicken-savvy mate — plus a few lessons learned the hard way at Mojo Homestead.
