Comment by 'Hischick' in article 'Mobile Hen House'
I use a scoop shovel to clean it out periodically, and afterwards put pine shavings down. It is a chicken coop, so you can't keep it spot-less of course. The paint on the floor makes cleaning it easier. The nesting boxes are not attached, so I can move those out of the way when I clean as well...- Hischick

From what I remember seeing yesterday though, they did not look like any of the pictures on the site you mentioned. I looked in the nesting boxes and could not find...- Hischick

Are newspaper mites bad for chickens?
Hello; today I put some newspaper in my wire-bottomed nesting boxes to keep the hay from falling out. I noticed in the process that I had tiny bugs crawling all over my coat and gloves.
