2 bags I think! Dry as a bone in there

No smell, at, all.

oh so just around 80 lbs. The pic make it look like you've got a barn full of deep PDZ beach in there.

Can someone explain the deep bedding method and care of it to me? I do not use it but I have a friend that says she does but it just looks to me like she only cleans it once a year and does no other upkeep. The last time I went in her coop I almost died from smell I would like to give her better information on how to do it for her chickens. Thanks

X2 what @bluema said.

That shows terrible care of her flock, just sheer laziness.

Here's a BYC thread where post #1 gives a nice summary.

Thank you for trying to help.

I agree. She is already looking at more chickens to order for next year. I cringe at the thought. But she thinks I am crazy for the amount of time/care i spend on my chickens. I believe if you take something alive in you should give it the best care possible. I sent her some directions but she did not seem impressed. I guess she will be impressed when they all get sick

Wow. I completely agree with you. We are asking our chickens to provide eggs for us; no small feat. Or in some cases to provide meat. But during that time, doesn't it make sense to give back by providing clean quarters, good food and enough room?

I take great pleasure in providing a nice and healthy home for all of my creatures.

I just don't understand some people.

There are too many irresponsible people out there and/or with psychological problem. Hoarders are perfect example - I'll never understand since they're insane.
