Crowing
I tried deep litter and hated it, doesn't work for me.Agreed with Lof Mc. How many s.f. per bird in coop AND run? My concern is that there is not appreciable bedding. Just "soil and river rock" IMO translates to a fecal laden mess over time. This would not help to control the pathogens in the soil.
Have you considered converting to deep litter management?
I would not want to be adding any new birds of any age until at least next spring if I was dealing with these kinds of losses.
I will get measurements in a bit.
Sigh, guess it's goodbye main flock.
