Hi All!
Thanks in advance for the help.
So I live in a townhouse in seattle with three chickens (4.5 months old) in the back yard. Their coop seems to be of good size for them, but I am having a hard time keeping it clean.
I clean out all the poop once per week, yet it doesn't seem like nearly enough.
I have a layer of sand and small gravel on the ground, with the plan of washing it out every week and the poop draining out as well.
Well... that's not really happening and the coop seems dirty and smelly all the time.
Do you have any advise? Should I put in wood chips on the ground as well and then just haul them out as needed? Should I feed them less. I just let them eat as much as they want.
Help Please!!!
