    Way to honor your grandfather. Good luck, and just keep building till they're done. Those birds really are striking. What are the real colorful ones?

    [/IMG] I put some small wedges in the bottoms of the walls to hold siding. Now cleaning the coop is way easy, nothing gets caught up in all the corners of the studs.

    I dust the coop weekly with food grade diatomaceous earth, keeps the mites down, and helps to dry the poop

    Thanks! So if they do happen to go into molt how long does that last and should I heat coop to make up for feather loss? I'm in Massachusetts, temps here around freezing at night

    You guys have built some incredible coops! Nicer than most houses for sure! I'm trying to Load up pictures of my coop, not sire if its working. I put pieces of siding inside so there were fewer corners to clean out. M[/IMG][/IMG][/IMG]

    Thanks. They were doing great, getting 6 eggs a day. Then I fed them a pumpkin and didn't notice they were out of water. They all almost stopped laying completely. Now only getting 2 eggs a day. It's been 5 days this way. Hope I didn't break my little ladies.

    Thanks for helping. They were new chicks this spring, so they're not old. The only other things that I can think of are the weather and temperature. We had a pretty good rain/wind storm for a couple days so it was cold dark windy and noisy for a couple days. But again that was a few days ago...

    Thanks. They've had good steady water supply for 4 or 5 days since and still just a couple eggs a day at best. Hopefully it's just a recovery period.
