    Deep litter v poop board -- what do you think?

    After doing extensive I went with sand in the bottom of the coop and poop boards under their roosts when we built our coop a little over one year ago. I put Sweet PDZ on the poop boards and clean the boards once or twice a week, the coop floor twice a year and haven't had any issues with...

    Nesting boxes

    Oh boy, Meep... i sure hope i don't get a case of chicken math like that! Lol 15 is more what I'm thinking. The coop should be big enough for 15-20.

    Nesting boxes

    I figured as much... never seen a coop that clean with chickens living in it! Lol. I had the same thought about the roosts at one height to discourage pecking and a poop board with PDZ for easy cleanup. How many chickens do you have?

    Nesting boxes

    We are in the coop building process with nesting boxes accessible from the outside.I am considering using dish pans or litter pans in the nest boxes for easier cleaning. My husband says they'll knock them over. Has anyone experience with this concept?

    Coop/Run Orientation

    I am located on 2.5 acres in Central California, and the coop we are building will be a walk-in, close to the 120 sqf (plus runs) allowed by our building code. I plan on building it larger than I'll initially need for 8-10 hens. Just want to try and get it right the first time :)

    Which breed is best?

    Hi All! We are getting started on our first coop and I have a few questions regarding chicken breeds for this part of the state. Given how HOT and dry it is here in Madera County for most of the year, which breeds do best in this climate? I would like to get a few different, unique birds, but...

    Coop/Run Orientation

    We are preparing to build our first coop and can't decide/agree on which way to orient the whole thing. Does it matter which way the coop faces, i.e. should the nesting boxes be on a particular side of the coop or do the girls care where they lay their eggs? I want to put them on the west side...
