    Must have supplies for clean coop

    After 1 month using PDZ I won't go back! That combined with poop board has made cleaning much easier. Now I'm contemplating coving the run in sand so I can scoop poop more easily from the ground as well.

    I don’t really see any pink waddles on your hens... I’m scared I may have more Roos in that case. Several of them have pink waddles starting.

    BCM cockerels?

    Oh yeah I can definitely see the difference here. The hen’s combs are still pretty small even at 6 weeks huh? The middle one has lots of brownish feathers. It’s interesting to see the color variances. I have only 2 that have copperish all over.

    Must have supplies for clean coop

    I’m very new to chickens but it’s been the hot topic in the group I joined. I have read the caffeine is not good for the chickens and the brand “Grounds” they sell at TSC has no caffeine. But others did say they dried theirs out from Starbucks no problem. So I’d do more research about the...

    That would be a life saver. I will be going Back to work soon and less time to maintain everything! The coop we currently have was left over from the previous owners, but really wasn’t the best, so the roost bars are in the run together no real closed coop. We’ll be adding on to the structure...

    Definitely thanks for talking about this. I’ve recently joined a FB chicken group and that seems to be a hot topic right now is the coffee grounds. I would love to have that smell in there! I just hope they carry it at my TSC. I’d definitely like to incorporate it in the coop. Yeah I’ve had...

    Gotcha, I’ll start asking around for wood chips, free would also be awesome! I think too early to tell. I used it on Wednesday and haven’t inspected them since then since it’s been raining. I read lots of great reviews and yeah for the price I’m hoping it does the trick. I was just asking...
