Ask Dutch to make the roost on hinges so you have a clean sweep of the floor. Good job gals!
@robertsaylors80703 ай бұрын
If you would ask the very nice man of the house if he would put a bolt though the top legs of the roost it would let you raise the roost off of the floor making it much easier to clean the floor. Have a great day and God bless all of you

If you put some vinyl rug remnants on that floor, it would be easier to clean. You used to be able to get them at HOME DEPOT OR LOWES.

Consider installing a very simple hook and eye lock to the outside of the human door. That way when you clean out the hen house, you can easily lock the door open. With summer coming on, a ceiling fan might be wise to install for summer heat also.

I heard washed contractor sand is supposed to be the best thing to use in a chicken coop it lasts a lot longer and all you got to do is poop or scoop all the little turds out of there in the wet spots like you would do for cat box

Cleaning chicken coops is not the most pleasant job. I remember having to help do it twice a year as a kid. But it was so nice when the fresh pine saw dust was laid down. Living in Montana, we did a deep litter method in our coop. Kept the coop warm in the winter and made good compost for the garden. 💖💖💖

Nice hen house. I'm 74 come June and have arthritis pretty bad. So I've decided to clean under the roost first then rake the used shavings under it so I won't have to much to get out. That is where the most poop piles up. Hope that makes sense. So nice there are two to do the job. Hope needs a pocket knife.
@nancyhowell77353 ай бұрын
It would be easier to clean out the coop if the roosting rack had a hinge on both side supports with a lock and a pivot on the top of each. That way, you could unlock the hinges, pull the roost from the bottom and the roost would collapse against the wall. At that point, fold the bottom of the roost up and hook it in place. Then, you would be able to clean the floor without having to work around the roost. I may not be explaining this clearly, but it would be something like the pull down attic stairs we had when I was a child.
@melanieriegel80533 ай бұрын
Maybe the roost could have hinges put on it so it be lifted up to the ceiling to be able to out a lot easier to clean up.

Oh I was so not expecting the pony to kick the ball so great! How fun! You girls did some hard work cleaning the coop. I love your coop design! Very nice. Oh I want a nice and loving cat soooo bad. My husband got him a puppy. Tsetse is a Boston Terrier and she's all about daddy. So I'm lonely. I lost my dear Molly, our beloved Papillion rescue that was a momma's girl, but love both of us equally. When we got together Bill had a cat that had adopted him, Mama Kitty. And I had a rescue chi/cairn terrier mix named Kitty that was the loves of our lives. Kitty had been through so much with me. I'll never stop missing them. I'm not in good health and disabled. So I can't take care of an animal. I'd really like to at least get a Guiney pig! Seriously. I'm just lost without something to love. I got my Teddy Bear and Boy Bear in my bed with me. They are good company and they don't potty...very good things about them. Have you ever read The Velveteen Rabbit book? If not, get your girls, snuggle up in bed and read that to them. Everyone should read this and more than once. It's not just for little kids, trust me on this.
