Crowing
DLM doesn't smell at all. It's actually proven to be better ( @lazy gardener knows her stuff about it).I don't know if the deep litter method is for me...I have to make sure that the coop doesn't smell to bad...it's the one stipulation my neighbor had.
If you live where it gets below freezing regularly I would insulate.
I would make sure you Have external nest boxes to save space.
Make it walk in or you will regret it, trust me.
