    need advice on using a covering for plywood floor of coop

    I used three broken bags of sacrete. One dollar each at Lowe's. I just dumped the dry sacrete in the coop and wet it down. End result, its a hard durable surface that I can hose down

    DE is simply that effective. You can add it to their dirt bath or dust them directly.

    Need goldern malrin recipe for rats

    Mix malrin with peanut butter, it'll dissolve in the oils. I put the mixture on fence posts, down low, and up on top to eliminate squirrels too (they eat my avocados ) This stuff is deadly, I have no pets and chickens are in the coop for a while. This stuff works.

    trouble with snakes eating eggs

    I've got King Snakes in my area of Melbourne FL... I consider them to be desireable. When King Snakes are around I've never seen a rat (or a rat snake). I've seen them around but never in the coop.

    Running water to the coop

    Horizontal water nipples... i'll have to look into this further. Here's my deal, I live in Melbourne FL so I never have a water freeze issue <grinning widely> I run water from my deep well, 440 feet deep with substantial ground/hrydostatic flow.. Uncapped I'd estimate it flows 50 to 75...

    Newbie

    Greetings... another new member here. I was always looking but joined today. I'm a renewed (second time) backyard flock owner in Melbourne FL. With the benefit of warmer weather, plenty of open space.. I hope to have 10 mixed hens when I'm finished with the plan. I'll post photos as I go...
