Hello Everyone, My name is Luis and I am an amature at backyard chicken's. I wanted to post pictures and info about my setup before I look for chickens to put into it, Below are the pictures and I live in Social Circle Georgia, about 40 miles northeast of Atlanta.
Here is my chicken coop, I had an individual built it for me, I plan to house 5 hens and a rooster in it, I plan to allow free ranging during the day.
I put several inches of fine sand on the bottom and outside of it...I have it facing south with plenty of sunlight, and air ventulation. The coop is level but the ground is sloped, I figure this will help to let the area drain after rainstorms.
Will the chickens be ok without heat?
do I keep the chickens in the coop when it rains?? or let them free range in any type of weather.
Do I need to add anything to the sand?? I put it in as it was, with no changes (It's severl inches thick since I used it to level the walking are of the coop for the chickens)

Here is the beeding I bought for the nesting area in the coop.
Is it the correct one?

Here is the feed I bought, is it correct?

any advise people can give this amature will be most helpful, thank you
