Never necessary to 'hose out' a coop, IMO. Not good for coop or chickens.Yes, I wash out the coop first thing in the morning, and let it dry over the day. I’ve not had it over the fall and winter yet, so I’ve only been washing it during the hot summer. I might have to change how I do it over the rainy fall to keep it from staying damp.
What exactly are these? Link to product would be good.They also get once a day a couple handfuls of those little fatty chicken treats
