Jaclyn worked hard Memorial Day weekend changing the Silkie Coop and Pigeon Aviary to a coarse sand bedding. We're 3 months in and this bedding has been outstanding!

I heard that you had to be careful about using sand. What kind did you use. Thank you. I loved your silkies

@HeadFamilyFarm 10 ай бұрын

Ours is course construction sand. There’s a small risk of crop impaction if they’re eating sand along with their feed, but we have not had any issues.

@TinyHoovesRanch 10 ай бұрын

Nice job on the coop I also am thinking if changing out my run also same substance as yours was to sand we live in northern wisconsin so not sure how the sand will do in cold weather im sure fine yours looks very nice

@HeadFamilyFarm 10 ай бұрын

Hi! Thank you, sand won’t hold or generate any heat but the need for that would depend on your coop setup. It’s been wonderful so far!

Hope you guys are doing well miss seeing y'all, Question...when do I need to switch my chickens from grower feed to layer feed .... everyone has a different opinion in my research so was wondering if you could tell me what you would do? Please and thank you.. Have a blessed day.

@HeadFamilyFarm 10 ай бұрын

Hi Lorie, 5 and a half to 6 months. It is ok to wait until you see the first egg to switch them but by 6 months most breeds are ready to start laying.

I have heard of people using used coffee grounds. What are your thoughts on that as bedding?

@HeadFamilyFarm 10 ай бұрын

I’ve used it before when brooding chicks and for some of my bantams. As soon as it gets wet it stains no matter what it says on the bag. I have a funny story about using some with baby ducks…they brewed their own coffee in the waterer in the first 5 minutes 😅 It smells nice but it’s not an effective bedding.

@susantaylor8507 2 ай бұрын

Is your chicken yard on concrete

@HeadFamilyFarm 2 ай бұрын

Yes, this coop is on a large concrete slab.
