    chicken killed grass how to regrow?

    A chicken tractor seems pretty cool, and I would really like to try it. However, where I live there are a lot of hurricanes/ wind/ rain etc won't that move it around?? Good luck to you!

    chicken killed grass how to regrow?

    My chicken roams free but I put her in the coop at night. Ya'll are right, I dont think grass is going to last long specifically in her coop, so I might try sand or mulch and see how it goes. Thank thank youuu!

    Duck has flees!!

    Her feathers are still growing and she has a tub she swims in an hour or so everyday in the sun. I cleaned up her place and now there are less flies around. There is no avian vet near me that I know of so taking her to one isn't an option for me. I appreciate all advice given thanks.

    Chicken bedding.

    Would pine straws work? What if my chickens start digging in them and scattering them all over the place? I use pine straws for their nest so would using it as bedding be a good idea? Also, would this work? My coop is 4x8 ft so is this good enough...
