grannys gone and done it

What do you all use in the bottom of your coops

i use pine shavings in the coop and straw in the nest..

 

[Dannachic]

after a couple days chicken poo

start with stall fresh/sweet and then pine shavings in the adult bird pens.

i use the stall stuff on the poop board.i still pick it up everyday but there's no smell.

 

[Dannachic]

It smells right now? I think shavings are the best solution for smell. I liked the sand, but I think it's too wet here for it to be practical.

it's to humid here to use sand.I tried it but had to remove it all, the smell was terrible..

It's humid here too but the shaving were getting maggots in them... I bout puked my guts out... I say though once I get them in the coop that will be better cause it will be completely cover but they still in dog kennel right now.. Coop is taking longer then I expected with school starting and hubs working late

I'm the worse mom ever... I didn't check on the tortoises this morning because of the wind.. One of them is gone.... Brandon is a wreck... I'm so numb I don't know what I'm feeling....

Yep.. The absent father. We are taking grannys advice and going out for pizza. Devin and I will be there but sit away from them. This is what the kids agreed upon. Still makes me nervous but I don't want them to regret anything either.

I think that is a great idea. Low key. It is something u won't regret. At least letting him visit.

He dug under the cinder block... I know they could dig which is why I always checked them... Just didn't this morning...

 

[lindalouly]

She's learning how to ask. She hasn't gotten anything, yet.

Maggots? I've never ever had maggots in my bedding. Sure they weren't black soldier fly larvae?
