Good looking girl

If your talking newspaper etc then that will be fine , not sure if you mean A4 type paper though for paper cuts!..

If these 5 are ex cage birds then they will probably have been fed mash and not pellets!, as has been suggested, soak some pellets in water to turn them into mash, then slowly reduce the water until they are used to the pellets!

A very interesting system, looks almost ideal when it comes to commercial egg production,

Sorry Gwen, have just read this! , big gorilla for you...

Thanks Bob, same to you too

Hi Jackie, I have a Solway eco hen house and did get some degree on condensation on the inside when I had 6 girls, only two now!, just adjusted the ventilation openings, seem to cure most of it!.
I use chopped straw for bedding, its called Bed-Down Traditional, got a nice fragrance too!

That must of been a shock for you Wendy, it's just one of those in the wrong place at the wrong time moments!, it is a shame that the dog was PTS, it was bad enough he bit you, but it doesn't bare thinking about if that was done to a child! . Look after yourself and take care, glad your on the mend ..

The other point to take into consideration is, if you have them fitted to your roof, then make sure your roof is sound!, as trying to fix a leak after they have been installed can be costly, especially if they all have to come off again!, then back on, not cheap!!.

Can't go wrong with Solway products, I've got an Eco hen house, brilliant , like Mad Chick say's, real easy to keep clean and no rotting!

Winter months obviously has less day light hours, this has an affect on egg production, whereas in the summer months egg production generally increases. I shouldn't worry about your chooks conserving their energy levels to keep warm, they will cope better in the colder months than the heat of summer...

Well done Wendy

I think your all that Bella needs to a full recovery Gwen, you've done wonders so far!, glad all has gone well for her

Just thought I'd put this on!
