    How clean do you clean your coop?

    we have a dirt floor layered with hay...we've just been raking the hay around and adding new straw once a month. we are getting ready to pull it all out and start new...but we've never scrubbed the roosts, etc... our experience has been that unless it's smelly, then it should be alright. plus...

    ??Changing feed???

    we didn't mix them...just switched when we ran out of chick feed at about 16 weeks...they are doing just fine. should be laying eggs any day now actually.. they definitely eat less when free ranging though. right now we are keeping them in coop and run until they actually lay...so they don't...
