    Waterproof INSIDE of coop?

    Should/How do I waterproof the inside of my coop? I anticipate a lot of hosing down of the coop and think it would be beneficial if I did this. However, what should I use? Should I just paint it? Would this be ok for the chicks? Thanks! Lisa

    So if we don't use treated wood.....

    Guys: I am wanting to add an insulating layer inside my coop. Some styrofoam and then plywood over that. Should I put something on the plywood to help with the moisture of cleaning? Since I will be scrubbing it down ? If so, what??

    When to move chicks to outside coop???

    Hi everyone! I have some chicks that appear to be fully feathered. When should I begin to transfer them to the outside coop?? Considering it is October, almost November and I live in Kansas it will be chilly. I plan on gradually doing this. Any comments on the general age to do this...

    Quote: Can you post some pictures? I know that our boys had combs and wattles coming in faster than the girls did. Hey, I will have to do this! They all seem pretty simliar, except for one is REALLY behind on getting her feathers!

    Have to shut up pullets when living in TOWN?

    I have questions. 1) When can i start to send my chicks outside? What age? 2) Do I have to shut them up every night when living in town? It seems like everything I read relates to rural living. Thanks, Lisa

    Blue Andalusian thread!

    Hi guys! I have questions! 1) When can I move my babies outside to their coop/run? At what age? I have read I should do it gradually. 2) I live in a small town. Is it necessary to close them up in their coop every night?? I have, what I think, a pretty secure fence for them. Thanks so...

    Blue Andalusian thread!

    My baby andulasians are 3 weeks old. I have 4 of them and am wondering if I can tell if they are all female or not. I ordered pullets, but one of them does not have as prominent of tail feathers as the other 3. Do you think this one is a male? It seems that the females will get wattles as...
