I know we haven't had the best summer and we've already had to deal with a lot of wet weather since we got our chickens in March but is there anything we need to do to prepare for the winter months ? Do we need to put any insulation on the floor of the coop? I only use newspaper at the minute as it's easy to roll up with the droppings and then replace on a daily basis and then a good clean once a week. Any tips for trying to keep the run mud free - I find this the biggest drawback of chicken keeping !! We've been moving them about during the summer and then reseeding but of course can't do that come the winter. Has anybody got any experience of chicken grass seed? It's more expensive but meant to be a lot tougher than ordinary lawn seed.
The chickens are doing really well and we're getting lots of lovely eggs - 21 this week !!! Amazing !!!
