Birch Tree Broom, where can I get one?

[crazy huhn]

In Europe I used to clean my barn and chicken coop with a Birch Tree Broom (like a witch broom). We used to make those ourselves by putting birch tree twigs tightly together with a twine and than put a handle in. I loved it! Is there any place in the US where I would be able to get one of those?

I know what you are talking about and they would be great for cleaning a coop floor. I haven't seen any, I would just look online but make sure if you buy one that it's not just for decoration and that it's sturdy enough to sweep out the mess.

My Grandmother used to make hers out of broomweed....maybe it is growing somewhere in your area.

Try an Asian grocery store, it might not be Birch, but they do have some awesome brooms.

Thanks, I already tried to google it and the web-link seems to be out-dated, so I was hoping that someone on here would know, but maybe I just need to sweep w/ California palm leaves
