Clean Coop

I cleaned out our chicken coop last week. I found a great blog about chickens. And the lady on the blog suggested sand in the chicken coop! Genius! I wish I would have done it all along! Ever since we switched to sand instead of muddy hard dirt my chickens coop has been soooo much cleaner! I know they are happier! It has been a week later and the coop still looks clean...which is amazing! If any of you out there have chickens...switch to sand.

Benefits: keeps feet clean and nails trim, never freezes so they can dust bathe in the winter, acts like kitty litter so you can scoop and throw...cleaner coop, drains and dries out fast and easy, provides natural grit for them.
