Hi,
I was wondering if I could get a clarification if this would be the deep litter method? I have a 12x12 coop that has mostly a dirt floor. If I put down some straw and pine shavings and mixed in some DE also on floor and then whenever poop started to build up do I turn it over and add new layer of litter, or do I take away the poop and then turn it over and add litter? Also, part of the coop is a wooden platform where the roosts will be above. Do I do the same thing on this part as the the dirt floor, or do I just put litter beneath the roosts and then just take away poop when it builds up and add a little bit of litter?
Thanks so much--PWF
