[CHICKENS-101] Re: Winter Litter..Pelleted Pine

 

Thank you Rhonda.

After seeing them in person that was the only method that made sense. As for the trash bags, in my money grubbing town, this year they changed to a "uniform bagging" color which was YELLOW. I think they wanted to make sure you had paid for your pickup and weren't throwing other things away..but before that I used dog food bags.

Back to the pellets, I do think though because of the water I would would for warmer weather. I think alone without the dry pine flakes it would won't work in my coop. Also I've noticed that the chickns are very adverse to change.

Thanks for everything Rhonda
