Chicken Chick recommended sand floor so, I decided to try that with my first flock. It's easy and you just pooper sift daily in coop-roost and monthlyt in run. I add DE powder that kills odor every couple months if needed. It serves as grit and dust bath. The hens stay dry and very clean...
Anyone prepared for the next weeks cold snap? We're putting 3 ml plastic up sides of run on exposed sides of north and west to keep floor dry but clear so sun shines in. Put light /heat on under water unit. What about you?
The two Buff Orpington's. BESS & Dolly and two Rhode island reds ,Martha and Mammie moved to the "White house" today . They are so happy and learned Drinking from nipple unit for their first day. One month old!!! And fun for all!
