last year I obsessively added grass clippings. When I went to clean out the run in the fall I noticed the clippings had clumped together like grass does (duh) and while it kept the smell down & was hygenic it was wet to their feet! So, now I'm looking for another alternative as well.
My flock was killed by a pack of dogs last week. So, I'm needing to start new. I can only have 4 birds now due to new city regulations. Has anyone had any experience in getting 4 different types of birds. I'm thinking of getting 1 of each type...Buff Orpington, Barred Plymouth Rock, Rhode...
