Wondering all the ideas you may have for chicken yard ordor. I had some PDZ and just ordered more. If I put a lot will it kill the ordor? Any other ideas? I put some straw and could get more. Does straw help or sour to make things worse. I can use small gravel that works sort of like sand. I could get more of that. The ordor got really bad after all the rain. Since I'm in a subdivision so that has to be addressed right away.

I had the worst slick "mud" form over the sand in my run this winter. There are no word for the smell. I spent $6 on the BIG bag of pine shavings from TSC, and no more smell. No more mud. No more mucky eggs. No more swimming chickens. Even with the rest of my back yard under water, the run is clean and lovely. I'll be keeping the shavings for a while... Even considering doing deep litter out there now. The one bag covered most of the run 4-6 inches deep. The run is 10x10, minus a 4x6 coop.

Nice. Thank you. I haven't tried that. It stays nice even with rain? That would be easy to do.

Let's see, I did it Thursday? We've had a little rain since Thursday, I think. I remember seeing everything wet. I expected them to sink down and get slimy, but they're still nice and semi-fluffy. I think the key is getting the layer deep enough.

Hey everyone! I have a friend who's raises garden produce, bees for honey, etc and sells at a farmers market. He wants to go in the "egg" business to offer that to his customers as well. What he's looking for are pretty colored eggs (blues, greens, dark brown) Do any of you have or know of anyone with chicks, pullets or layers for sale that would lay any of these colors? And do you have their contact info I could pass along to him? Thanks for any help you can provide!

I have crested cream legbars they lay blue eggs if he got a roo which carries the blue gene he could cross with any brown egg layers and get olive eggers. I will have other colored egg layers in 4 months or so. Pam
