Hey all!
I am new here, we are trying to start our small flock in highlands ranch. Preparing to submit our coop plans for approval. Anyone done this here before who knows how long the approval process is? Or pics of coops that were approved?
I would also love to know if there are some local breeders that I could purchase chicks from? Lots of questions and I am sure to have more. Thank in advance for any help you can offer!
Hi Y'all,
I just want to confirm with some experienced Colorado (dry climate) chicken keepers that I'm keeping a healthy coop. Here are the facts:
- Coop is about 4x4 with 3 adults and 3 adolescent (10 weeks, now independent from mom)
- Free range through back yard all day
- Using DLM, adding pine shavings every few weeks
- Coop has poop trays under roosting bars
- Spot cleaning nesting boxes and poop trays often
- No moisture issues, smell or flies present
- Replace all shavings 3 x per year
Does this seem okay? It seems unnatural to me to let the poop stay on the floor of the coop, but I can't get the poop out without taking 50 gallons of shavings....
Please let me know any tips or tricks that work for you all, I'm always open to suggestions.
Thank you!
