    Pitmoss roost

    I was looking into bedding and saw a product called Pitmoss Roost. I believe it is a type of recycled paper/cardboard.

    log roost

    My chickens are 3 months old, and have been in their coop for a bit. We had a small tree that was about to die in our woods so we cut it down and made the roost (inside the coop) out of it.

    So my little cheeps are fully feathered, and 10 weeks old. I put them in their coop with no warm light. During the nights it is mid 50's, and my cheeps pile in one corner on top of each other. One night it got down to mid 40's, so I put the lamp in (red light) they still piled. I just put a...
