    2 peacocks hanging around chicken coop

    I've had 2 peacocks, I'm assuming a male and a female, hanging around my chicken coops all day. They seem really friendly and I gave them a little bit of chicken feed and meal worms. Are they a threat to my chickens or just hanging out? They are so beautiful, I'm hoping they keep coming around.

    Silkie nesting boxes

    Is it okay to have nesting boxes inside the run but outside of the coop? I was hoping to have a nesting box area inside the run but not in the coop so I would have easier access to the nesting boxes but looking for advice first.

    Well after doing a bunch of research, I've come to the conclusion that I do have welsummers and not easter eggers 😪 I was looking forward to the colored eggs.

    How to clean poop out of run?

    What would be the best way to clean poop out of our chicken run? We live in the desert so it's just pea gravel and dirt. It seems impossible to pick up all the little poop out of the rocks. We sprinkle barn lime around the run to help with smells.
