The IMPORTED ENGLISH Orpington Thread

[MorgansManor]

I found a giant dustpan on a stick at Wal-Mart. My clever husband cut out the bottom, and put 1/4" hardware mesh in it. I rake the jewels into the pan, and give it a shake. The sand falls through , and all the poop is put into a bucket for the compost pile. Takes me about 5 minutes a run to clean up , including all the feathers, every day.

I love this idea and going to add it to my husband's to do list which is getting really long

I tried the sand. I really wish I could use it. It is so damp and cold here that it stays wet and cold. I loved it in July and August. It dried and was so nice to work with. I use it in my small brooder in my house. I use DL in my outside coops.

I gave my English a bath to remove the winter dirty skirts. They stayed beautiful for a whole day.
