Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I stand by my response

I wouldn’t!
Dogs and cats lick their private parts and then come lick their humans faces .
(And people complain that I have a house rooster!)

Speaking of roosters, Jaffar he COCORICO!

Some of the most important people in my little town, have called Jaffar “what a great little rooster”
And I tend to agree with them.
That makes Jaffar kinda famous, doesn’t it?

There is a difference between “wet” shavings and “damp” shavings. People who use the deep litter method, where the goal is for it to compost right in the coop, will tell you there has to be some moisture in the bedding for it to work. When things are too dry they will actually mist the bedding on purpose. The rule of thumb is if you pick up a handful and squeeze it you don’t have any water dripping out, and little to no clumping. So it is ok to get a little moisture on the bedding, just make sure to have plenty of ventilation and keep it turned/mixed up. The chooks will help you with that last part, especially if you throw a handful of scratch or mealworms on top.

I do deep litter and am always trying to add moisture - I dump the old water on the floor when I refresh the waterers and sometimes I just run the hose from the rain barrel.
I do this on a dirt floor though so I wasn't sure how it would work with a concrete floor.

I thought you and Jaffar were the most important people (roosters) in your town.

Good morning and Happy Friday! Everyone seemed happy in their coop this morning. Eenie was her usual zen self. I held the little waterer with electrolytes up to her and she drank a bit, but she wasn't willing to move more than her head. Shes going to be quite the attentive mama if she keeps this up!
It was about 83 in the coop at 8 a.m. 87 now at 10. Going to be a fun day of fans and hoses again.
