Pine shavings are very popular for chickens.Thanks everyone.
Today the feed came, she loves it! A bit windy and some snow coming down so I think I'll keep her in for most of the day. I hope the coop comes soon too, I don't want her getting used to the garage.
What about insolation for the coop? The only thing near to me is PetSmart which obviously is not a good place to shop for chicken supplies. I saw that they have stuff for rabbits like bedding and other stuff like wood shavings, pet bedding etc. I'm assuming straw is best? If anybody can suggest a supply store in SE Michigan that would be helpful.
Some people use heated dog dishes (the kind with the metal covered cord) and others get a heated poultry waterer base or heated waterer.I picked up pine shavings yesterday and placed it in her coop. Last night was her first night in the coop, temps were down to 18 but went out to see her this morning and she's still here! But her water keeps freezing so I'm not sure what I can do about that.
Pine shavings were a great suggestion!
