    I found the best chicken toy...

    A bale of wheat straw! I put it out and the girls just went for it and had a grand old time scratching through it, jumping on it, and finding whatever in it. They ALL loved it. I went and grabbed a beer and they demolished it in minutes. So much for me having to spread it around. Gone in...

    Sand floor...thank you!

    I was reading through all the amazing coops and runs on here and was inspired by everyone saying how awesome a sand floor is in the run and coops. Now my run and coop doesn't smell at all as I have been using the deep litter method but sand sounded interesting and looks nest and tidy. So this...
