    Love the DLM. Started using it in MA for my flock of 6 and now in KY with my flock of 8. I also use a poop board under the roost and this keeps most of the Poop out of the litter. I has 1" sides on it so holds quite a bit. Usually clean out 2 -3 times a year depending on condition.

    White stuff all over the back lawn this morning guess we had our 1st frost. My 2 SLWs spent the night in the run. When DW went to close them in the run it was dark and she didn't see them out there. Guess they didn't like it that I cleaned the coop yesterday.
