What’s up chicken butt?

Bought this dog pen, with top and bottom cover, for my new chicks. Best purchase ever. Make sure to get the bottom. It reduces the amount of fluff that gets thrown out by the chicks scratching.

We keep it real here! I do this major clean out after winter and before fall. H**p bedding: it’s from @eatonpetandpasture lasts that whole time because I use the shelf method and it stays pretty clean. I reuse it in my garden beds or compost it. It’s also great for deep litter if you prefer that. Nest pads: @eatonpetandpasture I replace those through the year as needed. If an egg breaks or a chicken poops in there I will swap them out but otherwise I just leave them in. Roost Refresh: Eaton and I collaborated on this product so I could create something perfect for the shelf! Smells amazing. I clean the shelf every day during fly season and a few times a week otherwise. I’ll post a video on basic daily stuff soon. Nest boxes: I’ve been testing these new green ones this year and I loved them until the bottoms where eggs have broken have started to lose the finish🙄 I’ll keep them for now but just an honest review! The grey ones are from Lowe’s. Just open storage bins :) Mask: This one is in my chicken supply list under coop section. You can also wear other kinds. I just breathe better in this type. If you aren’t wearing a mask for big clean outs, it’s time to start!! #coopcleaning #coop #coops #chickencoop #chickencoops #chickens #purelychickens
