Great info, thanks! Yes, I should look into my tree's root structure. That would be prudent. I have 5 LF and 3 silkies in a 10 x 12' run. The holly keeps it shaded some and protects against predators a bit.
Good news about your grass looking great downhill from it. That does speak to it...
My run is under part of the canopy of a large tree. I use wood chips in the run.
Will the "hot" droppings they do in the run end up killing or harming my tree? It's a very large holly tree and I am fond of it.
Thanks!
I can't remember if you live on a large property, but what do you do with the pine shavings when you clean out the whole coop? Do you use them as mulch at all? I've bagged mine for the lawn waste pickup. I'm afraid it's too "hot" to use under plants. ???
Yes, I suppose it would be expensive... My coop is only 6 x 8 so not too large, but I guess it would take 6 bags. Not too bad.
I wonder how long it would last? Any thoughts on that?
Thanks again, Trish! It is SOOOO easy to clean and no odor.
I love how easy it is to clean up under the roost with the PDZ!! So wonderful.
Thank you, Trish!!
I wish I could put it in the whole coop. Has anyone tried that? My LF roost but my silkies poop all over the floor.
Thoughts??
Thank You, Trish, for this awesome information~
I read the first 20 or so pages awhile ago, but don't remember the answer to the following. Can anyone help me, please?
1. Does this work in some manner for silkie's who like to pile in a corner? ... Maybe make a bed of this?
2...
