I have solar lights all around their run so it is lit up at night. Their coop is dark - so are you saying i should run an electrical wire in my coop and plug in a red light? My coop is way too small for anything except my 3 RIR and they are big birds (smile) only 3 1/2 months old and they are BIG!
I have only 1 vent in my coop but our temp does not go over 100 degree so i think I am OK. I live in central IL but originally I am a Mainer. Thanks for the DE advice
I bought a 50lb bad (food grade) DE and after reading tons and tons of website I was told that DE was bad for the chicken's respiratory system. It is like everything I thought was good for them is not. Barley now DE what next (smile)
I use straw in the 2 nesting boxes and pine shaving outside the nesting boxes. In their run I have some straw but mostly grass and use a box with sand for their bath box. So far all is well except I need to make a new run using PVC. Any ideas?
