Very important to keep the temps up for the first 4 weeks 24 hours a day and maintain the temp. I have not shut mine off and my babies are now going on 4 weeks. If they get hot they will run away from the heat and if they get cold they will get right near it.

POOP HAPPENS.. They will roost on the boxes and poop too.. just clean it out when it starts to get nasty looking.. be aware tho. Water = mold = sickness .. so make sure you use very little water.. Most of the poop after it drys will just peel off.

I am sorta new to this but.. Here is my thought process. If one is sick i take her/him right out of the coop until they either get better or well pass on to the big coop in the sky. There is no since keeping them with the others if they are sick, in some cases the others will kill the sick...

Looks kinda small, how many chickens do you have? looks like it would house 1-5 maybe.. But it looks nice.. mine cost $600 and i still need to add on this spring..
