Great looking plates. A few explanation comments by the chef would be nice.

I keep the food & water elevated, but still get debris in the water. I dump the soiled water into the liter to help the composting process.

I was able to put the new chicks in the coop at about 3 & 4 week of age. No adults. A couple nights the temp dropped in the 50's & a couple dropped into the 40's. They took the temp's fine. Kept them in the coop 2 or 3 day before I let them explore the run, and another couple days later to...

It's just the two of us. Legs thighs, & wings browned in skillet. Juice, ginger garlic, honey, & starch, thickened a little & added to the skillet along with pineapple sweet pepper & onion. Finished in the oven. Nice glaze on the chicken. I'll give myself about a 9 1/2 on a scale of 10

I am in no way an expert on chickens, but it sounds to me like your run is in a low spot and holds the water . In my case the run is on a slight slope and the litter dries out quickly. I've been blessed with no fowl odor. (no pun intended)

Stovetop Paella with chicken thighs & shrimp. Plus whatever I can find to mix in
