Critters will have to be very industrious diggers and chewers to get to and through the floor. <BR/><BR/>Although we do have termites in a very ancient outbuilding we are ready to tear down, it's so dry here that termites aren't a huge local issue. <BR/><BR/>The chickens get the cheapest generic flooring available, it's white with flecks of brown, so it looks like the chickens have already been there. On top of the vinyl flooring there will be a 3" layer of pine shavings which we sweep out and compost every two weeks.flowerweaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14903201215823510915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071569198154621897.post-86436715137696646592009-04-12T13:20:00.000-05:002009-04-12T13:20:00.000-05:00gee, could I sound any more negative in that last ...gee, could I sound any more negative in that last comment?
