Also I'm concerned for keeping them warm in the winter. What does everyone do for this? This last winter we got down to -6 below which we have never had. Luckily I had no chickens yet. So I need some education on this!
I eventually will build them a bigger coop. I am putting a garden fence around the whole thing. I was told to leave poop and all in there about a year. I add new pine shavings in there once a month and toss it around.
