neil cooney 10,415 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 There'd be no problem with the hedge trimmings but I'd imagine they'd make it hard in the future to clean out your pens. Hard to beat good straw. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Butler 396 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 When them tanalized boards shrink they will have 1/8 inch gaps..... And when a cock is on top of the kennel near the wire the bird in the other pen can see him and get to him.... I have had birds ruin themselves through a nail hole in a tin sheet it doesn't take a lot .. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
