First off I know everyone is on there own schedule but I am curious with so many chicken owners what other really come up with. I am so new "I DO NOT KNOW"!! I have been using This fantastic board of people. Common sense and flying by the seat of my pants. What the Hay anyways they are chickens I fell in love with
Daily Chores
Weekly Chores
Monthly Chores (If any)
What I do now, pretty much of the time. What things do you do?
Daily
I pick up the poop that I find in the run, coop and the brooder box.
Change the water.
Get all the contaminants out of the food dish and around the water bowl.
Food and Water is off the floor with concrete blocks, keeps shavings and dirt out of the water and feed dish.
I always check and inspect the birds. Stoking opportunity. (if they allow me)
Weekly
Wash the watering unit from sediment and mud in the cup
Clean out real good the pellet food pan
Refill the Rescue Fly catchers
Rake the run. I get flys galore for not cleaning like cantaloupe skins, watermelon rings and basic garbage
What other chores do you do regarding the Chix, coop, run to look for?
Anything you throw out to kill odor? (Lime but the birds?)
Do you let them roam out of the run freely around your home to get out?
Things to look for that birds get, colds, infections in their eyes or other stuff I need to know to look for?
Do you even check out your chix to make sure they have clear eyes no runny poop or whatever?
Does winter bring out any health dangers for the chix or summer?
Thanx
Steve
