I use sand, my soil here in North Carolina is mostly clay. The sand has been great for my garden. Sand drains well, dries fast. I just use a scoop to strain the poop, and add additional sand when it starts to get low. Works great for me.
Welp I did it, I moved them to the coop. Did not go well, so I took part of the run and housed them separate. Old Rubbermaid tub for house and they can look at the older sisters without getting pecked!
I have another suspicious 5 week old. I’m thinking my purchase of 6 pullet EE’s might actually have been more cockerels than pullets! Thank you in advance!!
I have 3 CQ’s that I got about 4 weeks ago, pullets just reaching laying stage (1 lays). I have 6 chicks that are 5 weeks old. Can I move them into the coop with the 3 older ones? I am hearing 2 weeks of getting used to each other. I don’t really have a way to keep them separate. Ideas?
Ahhhh, yes deep breath!! Thank you so much @Ol grey Mare! My daughter will be here, and she loves them as much as I do, so, it would be okay if they laid while I was gone, but...I so would like to see the first one!
Thanks for the input!!
Yes, I would say I need a vacation!!
Yay to...
