chickenboy8, we are all concerned about biosecurity, coop cleanliness for our babies, looking closely for any signs that may spread germs, viruses, etc., etc. please consider the service you will provide to the animals who can't provide for themselves the proper cage environment. you may be the one person who impacts them day to day more than others. look for the love in their eyes as they thank you for doing your best to make them comfortable. good luck and remember, you will ALWAYS be watched-- by the One above. rich
