First, all the hay was raked out:
Then the nest boxes:
Lots of dust......:
..... and spider webs:
And VERY dirty windows (ugh!):
All was swept nice 'n clean:
A good sprinkling of dust mite powder:
Got some on me, too:
Clean shavings: (the bricks are to put the waterer on)
Fresh hay in the nest boxes:
Fresh hay and clean water in the coop:
Earlier in the morning I cleaned the run - it was a stinky MESS! Hubby and I finally got rid of all the plastic on the back of the pen and the coop. It will go back up in December to keep away any cold wintery drafts!
Filled the poop cart up twice between all the gunk from the run and the coop. Everything is fresh and clean for now. It took three and a half hours to do ... now I'm pooped!
Sounds lke a crappy day lol

ReplyDeleteIt's there in the first photo - it runs along the entire length of the back wall - was just very dirty!
DeleteSometimes they hop up on the window sills and watch me bring breakfast. Their pen has two tree stumps to just jump up on (and for me to sit a spell) and a big branch in one corner for them to roost on. Good idea with the stainless steel sheet, by the way!
