Twoandhelp, Thanks for your responses. The pictures help a lot as I can see how you use the branches and hay. Do you use several of the sandboxes? Is it a problem to eat fertilized eggs? I expect as long as you take the out daily it shouldn't be a problem, but I know it wasn't too exciting...

Twoandhelp, Thanks for all the good insight. I had heard about the bright light possibly causing pecking, but I didn't know the red light was the answer or at least one of the answers. I think I'll have to change my location some as it sounds like I may need some electricity and I only have...
