Something you wish had been invented in chicken keeping.

Haha... You see. I don't get an allowance, I'm broke! I'm in the process of scrapping up BD money. Don't get me wrong, I do chores, but its my role in the family, so I don't need money for it I guess.

So you're too young to get a job(even babysitting or mowing lawns)...
...and your parents have paid for everything chicken??
Better just learn to use what you already have then.

It has been invented, just not built (as far as I know)... a feeder and waterer combination with a roof to protect from the rain all made of recycled materials.

I pay some things, like for the chickens, and I buy any treats or extras, I will Probobly pay part of vet bills, but I can't quite get that 100$ pitch fork. Its fine, the broom just takes longer. As soon as I can get a job, I will.

$100 for a pitch fork!!??
Is it gold plated?

 

[Chickenhappy8708]

I know right! I went over to spend 20 bucks, and it was over 100$!

Well, a even if you used a pitchfork you'd still probably have to use the broom.
You mean they won't buy it for you? Buy it yourself.
No need to 'scrub' anything.

Nooooo!!!

Ditto Dat x100!

Thanks everyone! No need for a pressure washer lol

You could wash it the way my great-grandparents have me was their house, with a hose and a sponge. (No don't do that lol)

The idea of using a snow shovel to scoop out under the roosts sound like a great idea. I use a dog poop shovel to get the little piles under the roosts about once a week, then shovel out whole henhouse every two months. I have a small coop and only six hens so not a big chore. I also use a horse stall "Dry" granular substance under the roosts. It helps! Good luck and don't let family member tell you not to get a pitch fork unless they want to do the job!

Good idea, I'm good at mowing lawns, never miss a spot on our 5 acres. If only the people around here let other people do things for them... I can work on it.
