Cleaned Out

| No Comments

I cleaned out the coop for the first time this weekend in preparation for moving the chicks in. DUDE there was A LOT of BEDDING in there - Four 55 gallon bags, two of them were nearly full. I was super glad we took the time to install the drop down floor. It made mucking out the soiled bedding very easy. And you know 6 month old poop and bedding isn't nearly as gross as you would think it would be. It was a lot dustier than I expected and I was glad to have a dust mask handy.

Scott laughed at me when I pounded a sign in the parking strip "Free Chick'n Poop". He didn't believe that anyone would want the bedding mixed with poop. HA! The first bag was gone with in the 1st hour and the rest were gone before the 2nd hour finished up. The ad on craigslist had a lot to do with the speedy disappearing act.
