New to Backyard Farming

[Happiehart]

Welcome!
You’ll be busy getting things set up then rearranged as you figure out best ways to do things.

where, in general, are you located? I’m western Ohio, so only potatoes have been planted so far in my garden.

chickens: dusty, of course. Whenever we clean out the coop in a big clean out, we use a respirator (half face). But, if we are just lightly tossing the bedding over to expose clean surfaces, then we usually don’t. Some use poop boards under the roosts, then add sand or similar so the can scoop out the poops in the morning, and the coop bedding stays “clean” longer.

I am in southwest Michigan. Thank you for the respirator advice!
