I used mason sand in my coop..got it at home depot 1000lbs for $25. Best choice so far. Easy clean up. I clean it every morning with a cat pooper scooper. Super easy. The coop is always spotless... no flys. Happy Hens!
I got this big kennel at tractor supply and put the coop inside of it to protect them at night. It was only $299 and the roof was $99 i only keep in here at night and then i built them a little yard to play in next to their run. They are 100% secure. If you don't have a tractor supply near you...

Sorry, lol..... I'm not sure who the questions are for.... this is my first thread, excuse my new-ness.... I'll get the hang of it. I really appreciate you all for helping answer my question. I've been watching this site for a while... really nice community of people here
Great questions... no pastey butt, not really getting bullied,maybe they do a little but they are all about the same age. She eats and drinks and I've started putting a little water in her food. She seems to like that. I've got her on my chest with a blanket right now and she's totally content...
