thank you. i certainly don't want those problems. the book i'm reading says 1.5 to 2 square feet per chicken inside the coop - then of course with an addition outdoor run for during the day.

i think i'll go ahead and post a new thread so i can sort out the conflicting information and get everyone's thoughts.

thank you very much for bringing that to my attention and for your help about d.e. and deep litter.
