    I have used a thicker layer of bedding and cut down any low drafts in the coop. I also close them up tighter on nights that we have negative temp at night. I feed them a warm breakfast and I think it is going all right but I still worry about them.

    Anyone ever thought of getting a Lavender Orpington? I got three when they were 3 days old and straight run. 8 weeks later we have officially decided one is a rooster. We need to find him a home. If anyone is interested let me know. He is amazing and follows the girls everywhere. He is the...

    Keeping the smell down in a coop.

    I don't have any pictures of the finished inside. But I will take some. Yes the coop is closed off to the rest of the building. Only access point is the door from my office to the coop and the nesting boxes. I will switch to pine and sand/PDZ in the poop box. And let you know how it turns...
