The Mud Issues: We have little pebbles in the run....and we have
a top. A piece of Plywood covered with a tarp. This keeps the
run dry and no mud issues. Hope this helps. Regards, Aria

Can anyone help me with what is the best thing to put in my run area so my silkies stop needing a bath?? right now I have organic mulch but since I have be locking them in because of my hawk issues this is a every day thing!!! It is dry in the run every morning when I let them out but they dig until they find mud!! Apparently my silkies think they are pigs and want to look like one to!!

Love the coop. I put a good layer of straw down and the cover with pine bark . Of course they will scratch it around and it helps to have a mound close by for topping up.

I'm pretty sure both the whites are boys took some pictures in actual good lighting.

What do I do with this many boys is only option getting rid of them?

Oh, that lighting is much better, thank you. Yeah, with this angle in inclined to agree.

If they're pets and you're willing to feed them despite the fact that they don't lay eggs, you could build them a bachelor pad. Roosters can get along quite well, especially when given plenty of space and kept separate from hens.

Otherwise, you would need to have a pretty large amount of hens to keep three boys happy - at least fifteen and preferably closer to twenty or twenty-five.
