    DLM/Bedding for raised house?

    It is a sort of a run, that's just under it. My chickens roam my yard morning till night, I have their run's door open at all times, my yard is fenced and no other pets. I am attaching a picture to make more sense. I

    DLM/Bedding for raised house?

    gale65 We live in Northern Utah and it does get cold here with some snow. The door is not the only door in the coop. If I close it off then the chickens don't go under the coop at all to have more space. Should that be ok on cold snowy days? I just want them to have more space to stretch and not...

    Winterizing my coop/floor opening dilemma. Coop PICS

    PAChickenChick2 Thank you so much for the link! I will read that right now! =) The coop is actually in the good spot, it's protected completely from the north side by part of our house with the fence on east and south sides. So maybe I will put the plastic on the northwest side and see how it...

    And I know I am a little early to worry about the winter, but I am busy for the next 2 months and just have to know what to face when the time comes instead of researching it at the last minute! Thanks again! =)

    Winterizing my coop/floor opening dilemma. Coop PICS

    Thank you all! The plastic around the bottom of my coop sounds like a must as well as a clear type of tarp around the coop to close off all the little openings in between the wood. I appreciate all the advice!

    Winterizing my coop/floor opening dilemma. Coop PICS

    Thank you so much for your reply! I am planning on shutters over the top open window most likely made out of plexiglass. As for the buttom - if I leave the door in the floor open, should I attach clear plastic to the sides of the run to protect it from wind and snow? We live in Northern Utah and...

    What to line bottom of coop with

    I think pine shavings are the best for the inside of the coop where they poop while sitting on their perches. It absorbs their droppings and it makes it easier to clean up. I throw the pine shavings with their poop in the garden pit to eventually mix it in with my garden soil. Are they going to...

    Winterizing my coop/floor opening dilemma. Coop PICS

    I have a question I asked in another thread but I decided to start my own and maybe get an answer. I am trying to figure out what to do with my coop in the winter. I have a door on the side with a ramp and also have an opening in the floor of the coop with another ramp that takes the chickens...

    What to line bottom of coop with

    There is a video of a guy who puts grass after mowing in his little run. It does look comfy and fun for the chickens! =)

    What to line bottom of coop with

    Does the coop itself have pine shavings in it? I had the same question when I started my little chicken farm =) What to put in the little run under the coop?? I started with straw but they scratch so much and it made a huge mess in the first 3 days that I had them locked up in the coop to get...
