We brush out the old bedding on the floor and in the nesting boxes.
The 'perches' can get dirty too because the chickens sleep on them (the wood raised off the ground)
Once clean we put shredded paper from the school office (shredded 'beacons') into the nesting boxes.
The floor is covered with fresh sawdust.
We even clean out the run!
We make sure our chickens always have a supply of 'layer Pellets'. A special food to keep our chickens happy and healthy. We also add 'grit' to help the chickens digest their food.

ReplyDeleteHi Phin, im sorry its taken so long to answer your questions! we watched our chickens and discovered they can fly a little bit! if they really want to they can get quite high but not for very long.
