Does anyone else use the Deep Litter method for coop bedding?
I used it in out coop, my first one as an adult. Started this Spring, when chooks left the brooder, with pine shavings and straw, and layered straw each week for the season.
Just cleaned out the coop today, and found it to be really simple and really fast.
I laid a tarp down outside the coop door, and pitch-forked the bedding on to it. Then I dragged it down the hill to the orchard and empty garden beds.
I am really glad the coin-toss sort of decision to Deep Litter turned out to be such a winner for me and my girls.
Anyone else have any thoughts on their experience with DL method (or not!)
(hoping this is the right section for this post)
