    New to BYC, hi there!

    I have a flat panel radiant heater mounted directly across from their roost. I have a nipple water (heated) so minimal moisture. I installed vinyl flooring and pine shaving in the coop but cleaned the poop daily even in subzero. Deep litter wouldn’t work when the poop was frozen. I might need an...
