Hello! We purchased a home that has three large sheds, previously used for housing chihuahuas, which the past owners bred and raised. I am converting one shed into a chicken coop.
My question is about litter options. The shed has a concrete floor. I would like to use the deep littler method but I read it is best to have a dirt floor for this method. Will this work ok concrete?
My plan is to use a combination of straw and pine shavings, since that is what is most convenient for me. I have used both previously but only with a plywood floor coop. What are some alternatives you might suggest? I will have a large flock - currently have 3 dozen chickens headed my way plus a Turkey poult in the bathroom currently. =)
