Hi all, I was interested in the "deep litter" method. Essentially it sounds like you let stuff compost on the ground under the chickens and the heat keeps the coop dry and warm. Here are my questions. 1. Do you did out the ground a bit so the compost does not pile up next to the wood walls.
2. How do you keep the side walls from rotting if the coop is directly in the dirt. 3. What type of shavings to you use? I desperately need materials for compostings so I would be happy to have 2-3 chickens or so. Thanks Sunny
