I cleaned the coop today.. almost 3 wheelbarrows full of dirty shavings! I thought it was cleaner than it was
SO much dirty shavings.. i dont get it. It looks dry on top but underneath they are soaked!!! So it took me an hour of heavy labor and lots of stink eye looks from my rooster, and loud BOK BOK BOK's from my Shelly! But they seemed happy for it not to be so smelly.. i did even realize how bad it was! But now i just like a light layer of shavings.. maybe a half of an inch.. and an inch under the roosts! I also showed Shelly the waterer (they couldnt find it) and she drank a buch but rooster stayed in a puffy hissing heap on his roost! I gave then treats of cracked corn scratch from my hand (OWWWW!!!) and they enjoyed that.. I also cleaned out there poopy feeder and filled the treat pan! And opened up the windows and removed curtains for total ventilation.. Hopefully it will stay fresher now!! Any tips on how to keep it cleaner?
