We figured out a way to get the coop open early and to keep the waterers outside but what happens when the weather is bad and there is snow on the ground? The chickens don't usually go outside in that situation.
We don't have a cheap supply for pine shavings or dry grass and we have a wood as opposed to earthen floor to our coop. I think these facts make deep litter tough, but I don't really know. What do you think?
The struggle we have with keeping the waterers outside is that we don't always open...
My neighbors and I have a large backyard coop with 33 chickens. I'm a bit concerned that the coop is too wet inside. We have good ventilation (maybe even too drafty for cold Massachusetts nights).
Obviously the poop is a big part of the moisture. We deal with that by cleaning and composting...
