Great video. Wise words to avoid using any water, even in a British Winter. I always find that there are some areas that are difficult to reach in the coop or run. I have a child's, small metal rake. I bought this donkey's years ago in a hardware store. It's great for reaching further, underneath perches or underneath old chairs ( for perching) in the run. Especially useful as my husband and I get older!
Thank you for your kind words. Using old chairs for additional roosting space is a creative idea, how awesome! Being a backyard chicken owner often requires ingenuity. If the child's rake works, that is fabulous. It doesn't matter if it's an unconventional cleaning tool what matters is that it is effective! Thank you for sharing your experiences and for being here on the channel. I'm very glad you're here!
Me too! I have done several cleans already to get my flock ready for the cold times ahead. I hope the good weather I'm enjoying will hold on just a little longer so I can do another deep clean before snow arrives. Thank you for your comments and your support! Wishing you and your flock a lovely day full of joy.
Your chicken poop is dry and you removed it so easily but my chicken poop is wet and doesn't go off easily , it smells bad .😂 How oftenly you clean it ?
Thank you for your question. Whenever you encounter especially messy droppings in the winter and the temperatures are going to be freezing below 35 degrees F you can also use water based natural wipes to clean the droppings which will help clean them off without introducing too much moisture into your coop. I would use natural water based wipes, nothing with harsh cleaning chemicals or scents as these could harm your chickens. It can be tricky to know how to develop your care and cleaning routine and this is based on a few factors. I made a whole video about how to develop your cleaning care routine and what I clean and when. I will include the link below. I hope this is helpful!

@ChuckTheRooster Thank you for your reply , I'm first time raising chickens in my backyard and I heard where is chickens there is rats , and they build a walmart in your house so worried about this because I love chickens and hates rats .
@@ShineWithShiza You hear a lot of things when you first embark on your chicken journey. What your chickens need from you more than anything is for you to adopt a learning mindset and a willingness to learn about their care needs. If you haven't already I highly advise buying at least one beginner chicken care guide book. It doesn't matter which one but it is important to be able to verify information offline and to learn solid basic care routines. I found this extremely helpful when I started my journey. I did a whole video about how to keep rodents away from your chickens. I will link that video here. Thanks for being here on the channel. Keep learning and growing with your flock. You're at the beginning of an amazing and rewarding journey. ruclips.net/video/j_3mBuVA2C8/видео.html
Love how delicate the chicken went into their nest box at the end
That is Big Betty. She is a treasure. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

Great video, thank you. I also use water-based baby wipes sometimes when a bit moisture is essential.
That is a great idea! Thank you for sharing the tip about the water-based wipes.
