Thanks, the plants will really help too

I gave up on plants in mine. My fish are plant killers

I'll keep an eye on them. My chickens never go in the coop unless it's night time or to lay an egg.

None sleep in or on the eating boxes either.

My chickens are well behaved

Have you ever used them before? We use the same cat litter, so I'm curious how well they work. I've seen them as boxes before, but never paid much attention if people liked them I like that they are fairly deep.

My old biddies hang out in the coop a lot! The younger ones I can't hardly get to stay there. My chickens do as they please haha.

Apparently they think bigger IS better.

Mine do also older stay in do dirt baths but will only lay in top one box all four of them do not move or take any boxes out either they are big enough sometimes someone gets impatient goes in with another to lay

How big is that tank by dimensions Cap? I think you wrote earlier what the cubic capacity is.

Sometimes normal looking doesn't cut it.
Tbh, I've got some real nutters here. Most are mixed breeds now; but that doesn't make me care any less. Often it's the complete oddballs, or the very hard work ones that need the most looking after and therefor one has the most contact with them.

I'd be plum happy to let him live out his life with me, but he just won't leave well enough alone. Technically I do have the most contact with him...by his initiation. He went after Chick this weekend and startled her. After she composed herself, she thought that was quite fun! Cheap Shot quickly changed his mind and didn't want to play anymore.

I get some right old tear ups about who lays eggs where. It gets that bad sometimes that one of them calls their rooster back. They all stand in the coop shouting at each other.

The errant zephyrs are maxing out at 50 mph today. Have I mentioned that I hate wind ?

 

[pennyJo1960]

You take our rain we can handle the wind ?

No I just started using them today. Ask me in a week and I'll tell you if they like them.
