Howdy from Texas! I just got my first at being a chicken momma! My baby chicks are around 4 weeks. We are setting up the coop and I have questions. So much info on the internet. Thought I would ask some who have lived through the experience. Thanks for having a site for that. I hope to learn a lot.

Welcome! I am too new to this website but I've been a chicken mama for years. If you have any questions feel free to ask, this place is extremely helpful.

I have our Coop up and ready. The bottom is open, so no floor.. My husband wanted to use nature's floor. But I heard that wasn't a good idea. Can I put a layers of pine shavings on the ground and some hay on top of that? Nesting box.. same way? Oh yea I also sprinkled DE on the ground first and in the nesting box bottom first.
