Just finished cleaning the chicken house and got it ready for winter here in Indiana.
I put pine shavings on their shelves for the first time this year. My guys are not sure exactly what to think. They are treated like pets more than anything else. I turn a heat lamp on for them if the temp goes below freezing. I have an older hen (10ish) and she had never had the water in her house to freeze.
Not sure how they will adjust to the shavings but I'm hoping for the best and my guys spend a happy comfortable winter
