    Sawdust as insulation???

    I have access to all the sawdust I could possibly ever use and them some. If I insulate the walls, I will have to cover the inside with OSB or something anyway, so I am thinking about covering with OSB and filling the cavities between the studs with sawdust. What do you think? Good idea or bad idea?

    More run questions

    I have decided that when I build the run, that instead of using 1X2 or 2X4 welded wire all the way to the ground and then cover that with 1/2" hardware cloth that I may be better off to put the hardware cloth on the bottom and then start the welded wire at the top (vertically) of the hardware...

    Questions about the run

    I hate to start a new thread with every question. But I don't want to hijack other threads. Anyway, I have a dozen RIR chicks that are about 2 1/2 weeks old. As soon as the weather breaks, I will be building a coop first and then an attached run. I was figuring on having to close the top of the...

    Litter material

    I see lots of posts about using pine or other wood shavings (but not cedar.) Are shavings more preferable to sawdust, or will sawdust be OK?

    Can a coop be "too big?"

    OK, I am new to all of this. I have 12 2 week old RIR chicks in a brooder and no coop. I have been reading quite a bit lately trying to decide what I want to build and hoping that the snow will go away in time for me to finish construction before they outgrow the brooder. Initially, I was...

    Hello from Central Virginia

    Hi all. I am Bob. I just found this site this evening. Looks like tons of great information. I just recently got into raising chickens. I have 12 RIRs that I picked up at the post office 9 days ago. I guess that I got a little over eager. When the website guaranteed "all orders will ship in...
