    What's the best material to lay down in the coop?

    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! Norm

    I really don't think they are laying anywhere in the garden. Yhe couple of hours they are out and about they are always on the move. I just think they have gone on strike.

    I relocated my coop and my girls stopped laying...

    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?
