State a fact about yourself!

I'm wondering when this rain is gong to end... the roads and our driveway are so muddy... Dirt roads and dirt driveways stink! Looks like we're gonna have to 4-wheel outta here again...

I'm going to clean out my chicken coop today. I haven't been able to do it all winter because its been so cold. It's REALLY dirty in there. :/ At least my chickens will be happy when it's clean.
 
I clean mine once a week. I only have five hens, but after seven days, it really starts to reek. It is a smaller coop though. Do you use pine shavings in your coop? I use straw in the winter, but I think I'm going to use shavings in the summer. The straw is nice for warmth, but it's just too hot in the summer.
 
I use pine shavings all year 'round. In the Spring, Summer, and Fall I clean the coop every two weeks. Then in the winter I let it build up for warmth. I just put a fresh layer of shaving over the old bedding once a week so it doesn't smell.

I have 15 chickens in a 8x7 coop. My chickens all free range, so the smell never really gets very bad. As long as I keep a fresh layer of shavings over the old bedding all winter.
