New coop finally painted stained and in use(well during the day any way)yesss.gif

we use Zeolite on the inside of coop (so far so good), may try DLM when cold weather comes, and sand on top of dirt in the outside run(not sure what else to use?). Love my new sunflower(wild bird suet cage, converted treat dispenser) and added a small perch on the floor of run, girls often roost on door jam while free ranging the yard, so we copied the idea for when we close them in all day during work...........coopz.JPGgirls.JPG
