Yesterday, I cleaned out the chicken coop. Today, I thought that I would tell you about what I do to keep my coop clean and fresh for my chickens. Here are six easy steps for a clean coop. (I let my "ladies" roam around the backyard while I do this.)
1.) I scooped the chicken poop out and put it in my compost pile.
2.) I emptied out the water dish, sprayed it with an orange vinegar solution and wiped it clean. I did the same with the food container. Then I set both containers in the sun to dry.
3.) I sprinkled diotemacious earth all over the bottom of my coop and spread out bedding over the top of that.
4.) I filled up the food and water containers and put them back in the coop.
5.) I picked a generous amount of tall green grass and put it in their nesting boxes.
6.) Gently I herded them back into their coop. They were very happy!
That is it! Pretty easy and my "ladies" are VERY happy.
