I live in North Carolina, I got vainly squares with adhesive that looks like wood floors from family dollar, a pack of 20 of them was $10 I got two packs with some extra squares left over. No, I put them down on the wood permanently and then use wood shavings or hay on top and just change out...
When I modified mine I put wood under it and vinyl flooring so it's super easy to clean out! I had that same issue when I first got it, if you gut the inside like I did you will definitely be able to fit all six of your Girls in there
Lol mine are too! Spoiled! If you did what I did I'm sure you can fit all six of them because they will be close :)
Here's what I did :) and my girls are very happy with it!
Congrats on your new babies!!! I got the same coop and I totally reconfigured the whole thing.. You could probably fit two hens in that but I was able to fit 4 big hens in the coop after I gutted the inside, boarded all the sides and rebuild it to lift it off the ground and put one long perch...
