Jul 12, 2010 #1 Adopted Chickenman Chirping 9 Years Jul 12, 2010 79 0 92 Rogers I have a quick question. Should the filler in the nesting boxes (I'm using pine shavings) be the same as on the floor of the coop? My girls just turned 16 weeks old and I would like to be ready for the delivery boxes. Any inputs?
