    FYI for sweet Pdz users.

    No problem! I use it in my coop, I use a 60/40 blend between that and sand on the coop floor, I use a kitty litter scoop to scoop out, poop every day. About three minutes and it’s done. Then every couple months I’ll buy another 40 pound bag, save a little bit to put in the coop, replace what...

    FYI for sweet Pdz users.

    Just thought id give a to anyone who uses this stuff. Wilco sells the small coop refresher bag, 10 pounds for 14.99 or 1.49 a pound. Or if you use the horse version it’s 24.99 for 40 pounds! Or .62 cents a pound. It’s the exact same stuff. Bigger bag different picture. Ingredient list the...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    Got 4 of 9 today. 4 have still yet to lay, until possibly today. My black copper maran, my. Leg bar/ee mix and my barred rock laid. This new speckled one. Did someone just deposit some off color spots? Or did someone new start laying? This egg is super super close in size to my silver Sussex...

    Bark chips

    Nice, as much as I love the pellets and the idea of them because they did do a lot of damage control with some mud, but in terms of the spots where they don’t dig or don’t get to for a while, I’m just scared bacteria and mold will grow so that’s why I want to transition into something else. And...

    Bark chips

    Thanks for the input everyone l, I’m going to give them a try as they’re cheaper than the pellets. Hopefully a little more clean.

    Bark chips

    Anyone have experience using just bark chips instead of wood chips? How’d you like it? Think it would be a good alternative? Right now I use pellets on both ends of the run, the enclosed/covered side has pellets and straw and the open rained on side has just pellets although it gets straw...

    Rotating hens that are all the same age.

    Natj oh how I appreciate people like you more than anyone weather that be on online forums or in the real world. It is refreshing to see there are other people who just answer the questions asked or given advice asked and don’t add in a bunch of other unsolicited answers. Simple straightforward...

    Exhaust fan or handful of vent covers??

    There is plenty. The point of this thread is was to decide with my redesigning if I wanted a fan and get recommendations on brands like the person above gave. I utimately chose passive ventilation and put the correct amount needed. I appreciate your input.

    Exhaust fan or handful of vent covers??

    Correction. It’s actually 4x8 and they have 16feet of roost space. They have plenty. I forgot I put 8 foot 2X4 roosts in there.

    Rotating hens that are all the same age.

    Yes, culling them. I have no issue with culling and eating my own hens. I wasn’t implying anytime soon, they got lots of egg laying life left in them. I was asking for advice for upcoming future stuff to deal with 7 hens that are the same age on rotating out with new young ones. Everyone...

    Rotating hens that are all the same age.

    Advice for how I’m going to rotate my hens, I have 7 hens all of them were last may chicks. 5 of them started laying in the fall, I have two that have yet to lay and still have no physical changes suggesting they will start soon. I need ideas of how I should rotate these girls out due to all...

    Blood

    For the life of me, I could not figure it out. Everybody seems healthy as ever still, so not to worry. Probably just a comb wound.

    Exhaust fan or handful of vent covers??

    Thats how my current roof is and I will replace it the same. That is the fan I was actually looking at getting, price is steep but one of the only ones I found that are made for it and have enclosed housings from what I can tell to prevent water on them and fires. I’m assuming there is plenty...
