No odor despite being inside about, um, I guess about two months longer than they were supposed to be. We never changed it, too lazy! Since it worked so well inside, we gave them a thick start of bedding inside the coop and mulch in the run and so far looks and smells just fine.

I think the chickens actually enjoy spreading around the bedding. And thanks for the link! :)

I’ve heard of people providing boxes for dust baths. My guess is that they’ll dig around in the boxes quite a bit… probably they’ll throw the dirt in them out and the boxes will have to be replenished?

They sing a sort of egg song (I think to look for the flock after laying), which I was always worried about the neighbors hearing, but I’ve asked and they all say they’ve never heard them.
