    Amber Waves?

    Has anyone purchased any Silkies or Marans from Amber Waves? I am not asking about your experience since I do not want any flaming of the breeder to happen, I just simply want to see the pictures of what you purchased all grown up so I can decide whether or not to purchase from them! Thanks!

    Coop Bedding?

    Hello! I was just wondering what everyone has for bedding? I'm thinking about either sand so I can scoop the poop with a kitty litter scooper or straw with zeolite. What do you think is better? I'll also be putting a droppings board under the roost. Thanks!
