Its pretty wet here this time of year, and I have straw on the outside part of their coop, which gets pretty soggy (the inside part is nice and dry). What's the best material to use? Pine shavings? Something else?
Cheers!

Last week I posted that my chickens had been on strike for 6 weeks after I relocated their coop. I took your suggestions and have kept them in the coop since then, and also put in a different nesting box (a generic cardboard box). Got two eggs today! Woo woo! I'll keep them in there a few...
So about 6 weeks ago i relocated my coop and my hens stopped laying. I have no idea why. I generally let them out in the late afternoon until it gets dark so I doubt they are laying in the garden.
Any ideas?
