Cleanliness

[GYSOT]

So I took some quick measurements last night and this is what I've come up with. I will cut (4) 2'x4' sections in the roof, been them up and create (4) dormers. I'll use wood to fill in the sides and leave the fronts of them open covered with hardware cloth. I will try to create roughly 32sqft of roof ventilation.

I'm about to head out and I will take some shots of the flock and current coop.

We're a violent bunch...lol. I'm a little bit surprised how many people on here share the fire bug...I thought most would feel it's extreme.

Now I DID say burn it down...when I was thinking these were Gysot's birds being brought onto this new property and into this chicken coop. BUT these are the birds that "have" been at this farm all along and they've already been exposed. With scraping, TLC and some adjustments...they can "probably" still use this building??? It's not like they haven't been exposed to it already, right?

IF these were birds that had never touched the property...then my thoughts on burning the coop too the ground still stand.

@FlyWheel That's true, I wasn't thinking of the smoke. It's just that I feel uncomfortable using gasoline, it's so quick. I live in the sticks so no one's going to have issues with either here. My closest neighbor's 1.5 miles away. Everyone else is 3+ miles away.

Well once I can get the new one built I do plan on calling the local FD to help do a controlled burn.

For now I just want to keep my birds alive and as healthy as I can.

That looks great!
Are you going to put down some new bedding?
If it stink in there throwing down some PDZ(zeolite) under the bedding might really help.
Don't be surprised if the birds don't appreciate your efforts, the new bedding might freak then out.

Yeah, I'll end up getting some bedding for them. Everywhere was closed today that I can get it from.
