Just this morning we were talking about choosing a time to give the coop it’s good fall cleaning.
I have been using a dedicated BBQ brush to clean the roosts and it works well.
Let’s start a “Get Eric a Hot Tub” campaign but all subscribers are allowed to use it!

Good information as usual

[@CalmCowBell]

Colloidal silver is antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal. We have been using it for over twenty years. We use colloidal silver in their drinking water to keep it fresher and to disinfect surfaces. We also use colloidal silver topically on the birds when needed. Colloidal silver can be made very cheaply.

First time chicken mom here. So you are cleaning the coop and the chicken are not allowed in while this is happening. I have 7 hens where do the hens lay eggs while this happens? Mine takes all day to lay 7 eggs.

[@HobbyFarmGuys]

I can usually clean the coop and have them back in in a few hours. They will simply wait to lay their eggs. Though Mine usually lay before 9am or in the afternoon, so I do the cleaning in between.

Does this mean you disagree with Harvey Usserys method of coop maintenance.

[@HobbyFarmGuys]

No. Harvey is a proponent of the deep litter method, which both Steve & Brian use. That doesn’t mean cleaning & disinfecting can be completely omitted. However, the deep litter method doesn’t work for all environments. Here is a video on the process:

Thanks guys, i watched your other vidio and it explained everything. Thanks for replying to my question. Love your videos and keep up the good work because it's very helpful to everyone.

To clean coop is stupid waist of time. A coop should be moved every day or like mine twice a day. A normal coop comes from industry style farms.Nothing worse for any animals health. Better ways is the tractor coop moved into fresh grass or a cover crop on a section in garden.

[@HobbyFarmGuys]

We do like the chicken tractors
