all living in peace

It's been over a week since we moved the little chickens into the big coop. You could barely tell that they are different ages by now. The group of "little ones" still move together in a pack, both ri reds & aracaunas together.

The biggest problem we have been having is because of the weather. It has been cold enough for the snow to keep around for a while and the chickens don't like to go out in the snow. There is no point to it I guess, as they wouldn't be able to find much thru the snow anyway. But the little ones like to roost during the day. And since the coop is full, they have been roosting in the nesting boxes, 5 at a time as you can see- I told you they go as a pack. So the boxes are full of poop, and whoever is still laying ( I think it's only one of them) has to lay on the ground sometimes.

Adam cleaned it all out yesterday, because the other problem is it stinks in there now. But I noticed today the nesting boxes were full of poop again. He was shooing them out of the boxes yesterday. I wonder if there is a better way to manage this problem.
