    Used nesting boxes - Yes or No?

    :frow Got some old nesting boxes from my step-dad. They have been sitting unused for at least 5 years. They are made of 1-1/4" plywood and, yes, they need a good cleaning.

    They are in the Shoop!

    Chickies have spent their first night in the shoop! 🤗 We've given them some grass and dandelion leaves, and they love them! I was thrilled to not see 💩 in the water or food! They are so very happy - and so is Mama :love

    Do pullets need to stay in coop for first few days?

    Hello! Hubby & I have read different opinions on this so I need help. He's raised chickens before - from peeps, strays, with and without roosters - while I'm a brand new chickie mama. Our pullets have been tolerating a good sized box of straw/wheat with a hanging CD, reflective dohickey...
