Coop Cleaning


It has been a long winter and my chickens have made a mess of the coop. They overnight in the coop but they can still make a mess of it. I made 20+ trips to the manure pile dumping straw and pooh. Then I put down diatomaceous earth and cedar shavings along with new straw. The earth and cedar keep bugs away and keep the coop smelling nice. The straw holds the stuff together in the manure pile. All of it makes great compost in a year or so.
