Hicimos un cuadro de madera para las gallinas

Creating a comfortable environment for your chickens is crucial for their health and well-being. A wooden frame filled with ashes allows chickens to engage in natural dust bathing, which is essential for keeping their feathers clean and free from parasites. To make the frame, start by measuring the desired dimensions based on your coop's space and the number of chickens using it. Use treated wood for durability and longevity in outdoor conditions. Before you assemble, sand the wood to avoid splinters. You can create either an open or lidded frame, depending on your preferences and the weather in your area. A lidded frame can help keep the ashes dry in rainy conditions. Make sure to fill the frame with fine ash to facilitate effective dust bathing. Regularly check and replenish the ashes to keep your chickens happy and healthy. Not only does this DIY project benefit your flock, but it also allows you to engage in a fun and rewarding woodworking activity.
