Granny's gone and done it again

I compost all my chicken poop & dress all my gardens with it in the following spring before we till. Really builds good soil.

Good planning on the sloped floor. I'm not certain even with a mask on if I could scrape it out.

I wouldnt ask you to hun.

I know you wouldn't hun, just wish I could. I have to keep mine super clean or I can't be in mine. Not only am I allergic to the eggs, but the feathers too.

Flea home and yard spray for walls and roosts. Let it dry before the chickens come back in. You shouldn't need it for the northern fowl mites. Ivermectin treatments 10 days apart should do the trick.

Haha! Sounds like you need to enter the lottery! Off to the torture chamber!

got any KFCs close by ?

I treated everything including the barn cats and turkey. I need to figure out how to clean the coop. Lisa, you know its nasty. I want to dust it down when I treat them again. I swear I just dont know how.

Single chick still, 2 others pipped but not moving fast. Chick is sleeping so all is quiet for now. I'm sure when I want to be sleeping she will decide to start peeping

Its not the mites so much as the build up on the floor and cobwebs hanging from the rafters . I wonder if it would do any good to spray or dust if it cant penetrate the floor wood. It just needs a good ol fashion scrub down.

Sorry about your Marans loss Wishing. Did you know that your Lola shared the same names as Pam's mom?

Mine needs the same, lots of fine dust because I use contractors sand & a PDZ mix on all my coop floors. Really shows where the cobwebs are lol.

Last spring I took a shop vac to all the coop walls & ceilings, not the floors. Those I pooped scoop. I've gotta sign out & restart my phone. The gremlins are back, bbs
