I have planned to line my new coop floor in vinyl linoleum... I have seen lots of posts on this for the coop, but have not seen people say it is in their nesting box area as well? Any advice? Almost done with the finishing touches with our garden bed - to - coop remodel!
I have a 4.5 x 14 foot run. I just laid hardwire cloth over compact dirt, connected to wood base on the run. I am thinking of laying 5-6 inches+ total
2 inches of gravel
2 inches of dirt compacted over that
then?
Straw? sand? wood shaving? Hemp bedding?
Any thoughts from the BYC
We are building a new coop and thought if I closed off the coop that perhaps I could rig a heat lamp within the coop. It will have nice large doors to access the inside. Has anyone done this> The coop floorspace is 20+ square ft.
We are so excited to plan our DIY coop. Reclaiming a old redwood garden bed to turn into a coop. The run will have wire below a dirt bed that will not have a roof. Should we put pavers or some other base and then add bedding?, sand? gravel + bedding material? I want to be able to clean it...
