While cleaning the hen house today I realized that this set up was a
great idea. I wanted to share it just in case someone else may like some
of the ideas.
It would make a great summer project.
My husband made a box over the nesting boxes then filled
it full of sand. He then added a roosting bar. So every morning all I
have to do is scoop out the box with a cat scooper. It makes daily clean
up so much easier. Plus a lot less on the ground to walk on.
He put in a
nipple watering system so that they always had clea
n water . We can add med or apple juice right to the bucket. Add installation and heat tape and we are set for winter.
Our chicken coop is really a shed with double doors so one side is used
for storage and the other for chickens. See the box under the nesting
boxes I have to say I love this thing. I just open
the door place in under the lip of the shed and sweep everything into
it. He put handles on it so I can carry it to the compost to dump it.
Everything works together to make clean up a breeze for me.
Great ideas Michelle! I especially like the "litter box" under the roost!! :)
ReplyDeletethese are great tips, i will pass these to my neighbor who has a coop. There's does not look like this and it would be great to see it cleaned up a bit.
ReplyDeleteI just have to giggle. I've never had chickens and probably won't ever have any so I've never thought about what it would take to keep their house clean! :)
