Loved your coop, and your beautiful chickens! They're adorable. There seems to be a place for everything, including shelves that can hold remedies for everything. The sand was certainly a good idea. I'm planning to do the same here in south Texas. I didn't think about wet sand in the Summer helping their feet to stay cool. That's a good idea. I'm sending a picture of Joy, my prettiest chicken (I only have four. I've just started with chickens this year, 2023). Joy loves to get on top of the water dispenser, when I sing to her. She's an Easter Egger, 1 month old yesterday.
Thanks so much! :) Aww...Joy is adorable! Love those Easter Eggers!! Definitely give sand a try, don't use arroyo sand like I did, it's a bit contaminated so use store bought play sand. And wait until chicks are several months old before putting them on sand as young birds will gorge on it. I eventually switched over to mulch, it's lighter and easier for my old self to haul in and out of the coop. :D Enjoy your babies, they grow SO fast!!
