Sand in coop scoop the poop

[Dlepage]

Hi everyone!!!!
I have just built and painted my first backyard chicken coop this summer! In April we got 4 day old chicks and now they are around 20 weeks I lost count the exact age. It’s been so much fun! I use sand only in my coop and run and I have zero smell and zero flies in or around my yard and coop. I scoop the poop every day. My coop is insulated and well vented. I’m so looking forward to talking with others chicken parents lol
