we just started getting eggs this week and would like to extend the light for the girls does it matter what color light ? Red, yellow or a regular bulb, I have a leghorn that is starting to get a little mean and peaking the others, when they were little we used red does it make a difference now?
what do I use as flooring in the run when the grass is gone ,its getting kinda poopy in there. the birds are still a little young for letting out,we do let them in a temp. area with a moveable fence , but only for awhile.
when the chickens are in the coop we always find the laying on the smallest chicken. we have 6- 2 rocks 2 leghorn 1 n hamp red and partridge rock ,the partridge is the smallest and that is the one they lay on...she was sun bathing the other day and one of the rocks went over and layed on her is...
so far I have been using mason jar waterer for in the coop and have to clean it 2 or3 times a day ...I was wondering if rabbit waterers work or will they leak and get the coop wet...and will they figure out how to use it?
signed up today incase I have any questions about my 6 ,4 week old chickens 2 rock ,2 brown leghorns 1 New Hamp red, 1 partridge rock.
thanks for the info I've already found, will be checking in often.
