    First fall/winter

    Should the coop door be left closed or open into the run when it gets cold? And at what temp is too cold to let them out?

    Flooring

    At this moment I have not put the vinyl down we are just using shavings. It is still a work in progress. I was going to use the tiles but the going up 4-8" makes a lot of sense. We have tried the nipples and they won't use them. My husband has bought these cup things we will see if they work.

    Flooring

    Ok so we have built a new walk in coupe it is 4'x8'. We have a wood floor to which I will be putting laminate on for better cleaning. My question is what should I use on the top of that to gather the poop? Sand? Dirt? Straw? Pine shavings?

    HEN OR ROOSTER

    We thought this chicken was a girl until the last week with its tail feathers changing. Any help would be appreciated. I already have a rooster .

    Chicken bedding

    Yeah we've done that too. The pile up in front of it in the coop. My husband says they are the laziest chickens. Lol

    Chicken bedding

    Yes and they aren't having it. The girls sleep in one nesting box together and the rooster lays In the one next to them or in front. They are rotten.

    Chicken bedding

    First winter with my three chickens (who btw won't roost). We use pine shavings now. Wanted to know what would be best to use for the bedding in winter. Straw, hay or the pine shavings?

    Really?! We are new at chickens we have had them for 3 mo. OMG you just made my day. I dont care about eggs myself I don't eat them but my husband does. They are my beautiful babies! So what do I need to do and not to do?

    It's official!

    No matter how much we don't want it to be true we have a roo. My husband says it's my fault cause I gave it a boys name (Sheldon) Lol Anyway now I don't know what to do. We don't want more chickens. Does Sheldon need the same set up as my pullets? He will be maintained as a pet not a meat bird...

    New and confused

    Thank you. We haven't seen anything on them. We were told to put it directly on them and everywhere else as a preventative.
