Hi Rob! I have a question, aren’t they (chucks) poo-pooing there, and does it pose any biological risks, if they do? Have no idea myself, just curious if this is safe and doesn’t poss any health risks for people eating their eggs/meat afterwards – and for the chickens themselves.cheers from Ireland

Great question. If you look at battery hens they live in worse conditions with loads of faecal mater in their cage & flying around the shed in the form of dust. They live in far more contaminated conditions that back yard chooks & re said to be “healthy” so I really don’t worry about that sort of thing with ours.
Have never read any information where it is suggested that any contamination could be past through their digestive system, into the eggs or flesh & then to us.
Hope that helps,
Rob

Apparently you can also buy reusable ones that have a release tab but haven’t seen any for sale here in Australia..
Hope that helps & have a great one,

I loved it! I was just trying to figure out a way to get greens to my free range chicks this winter (Northern Iowa), when they may be cooped up for days at a time due to weather. I was thinking Could use some kind of fodder system in pans but didnt know what to do to keep them from ruining it. This covering really helps out, I enjoy your videos and how you talk to your girls. keep up the good work!
