    Pea gravel outdoor flooring for the run - good or bad?

    we have sand in our closed coop area and it is super easy to clean up with a kitty litter shovel a few times a week. and pea gravel all around 20X20 area outside of coop and my husband just hoses it all down once a week so poop drains to bottom of gravel, again SUPER EASY!

    BARRED ROCK :: ROOSTER OR HEN? HELP!

    okay...guess it is just the noise complaint then. It is illegal to have roosters in Dallas city limits. But if he is a rooster he is a quiet one for 13 weeks... now I have my hopes up a little. looking forward to seeing your hen photos MamaMarcy! You are giving me hope!!!!
