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.
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?
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?
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...
As new chicken owners we didn't know to close off the nesting boxes. We had roosting bars in the coop but they would all lay together in the nesting boxes. Now that we have closed off the nesting boxes the continue to huddle together and sleep. Is this a problem? If so what do we do? Thanks in...
Yeah after I about had a stroke and calmed down I thought it was funny. Last night I gave them more melon and they did one. My husband tripped over one of the lower roosting bars and fell face first in chicken poo. Now that was funny!
