I’m only a couple of months in but will have a go. Can relate to the reading getting scary! For feeder I have a metal treadle feeder in the hope it will deter rats. Really pleased with it as holds loads so I don’t have to top up much and it stays nice and dry. I’ve a separate smaller one which has mixed grit in and a hanging water container . I got a small dog kennel so they could have a dirt bath when wet, they ignore that.
Galvanised metal bin for food storage, Apple Cider Vinegar, Red Stop (not used yet), bag of corn, bag of layers pellets, mixed grit, bedding, diatomaceous earth , Smite and Vanadine was my shopping list.
Noticed Flyte so Fancy have tarps to go on bottom of coop and I had something similar so have used this. Plastic tray under perch acts as poop tray. Each morning I take the poo out using plastic bag and put in lidded bucket, takes a minute . Then every so often empty bucket into an empty feed bag and am leaving them to compost to use on garden later. When do a full clean I just pull the tarp out. Read about a Diatomaceous Earth slurry made of Vanadine, DE and a dash of washing up liquid mixed to batter consistency and painted in coop. Allegedly this helps protect against redmite for several months.
My run isn’t movable and grass now gone so put hay in it, old leaves, grass clippings and weeds from garden. It has some things to sit on and an old pallet propped up with log under they like for shelter.
Have an auto door opener which is great until yesterday when it got stuck, didn’t open and I thought they were in the coop laying eggs (all 3 like to go and sit in nest box together sometimes. Thought they were being a touch noisy and then realised they were locked in. Daily routine is poo pick at some point in morning, sort water if needed, collect eggs, then chuck corn later in day or give bits and pieces - melon seeds were today’s treat but I do this later so they fill up on pellets first.
I had to block nesting box off at first as they started to sleep in it and put plastic eggs in when they started laying. They are very good at going in to bed and get themselves up and fed once door opens in the morning.
Hopefully some one who knows what they are doing will be along soon. They have been great fun and I didn’t realise they had such different personalities.
