Ya snakes can be in hay. Even in the north. Depending on the weather to how one can do things. Congrats on the years of marraige. I admire what your doing. Your right about finding and making things work for oneself. Hey what do you recommend for cameras and editing software?
right there with you here in South Central Texas!
Love you Patara !!! I am in Colorado … besides DE what is your TIP for mites / fleas for your chickens? Thank you Sweetheart !!!
Go girl do what best for you !!
This world today is full of meanness, overlook it 🙂 God said this day would come.
I tried the deep bedding method. didn't work for me either. I lIke to clean coop so the chickens are clean and dry. I ended up with mites and lice and had to deal with that. Just easier to keep it clean. I have 8 chickens too. Wink Wink. Who cares what other say is best. I wonder if they tried anything else.
I use sand in mine in south Mississippi. It keeps the mud to a minimum and they like to dust bathe in it
you keep telling your story I'm learning
thanks
Mud and cold here in NC, too… Ugh. Know what you mean!
Trolls need to find JESUS and get down to work and see real life truths.
I live in the PNW and i am new to homesteading. My coop is like 4 feet tall and it kills my back to go in and clean it out. I wear a mask because of the dust made when doing so. I use to use hay, then i was given free access to woid shavings. So i am trying them. The shavings have stopped the muddy egg mess. I rake it all out and so far i am just leaving it on the ground and not removing it. There is no smell as of right now. Perhaps when things heat up. But I usually have to lower the hot electric fences and then rake my coop mess across the run and scoop over a fence into a bucket attached to the lawn mower. I had no idea it would be this much work for raising turkeys and chickens. My set up is not ideal. I suppose a barn would be ideal. I appreciate your message and being down to earth. God bless!
we have a run similar and have tried many different solutions. First we initially was using one of those mesh tarps from harbor freight to help allow some sunlight in but the rainy season wasn't good. we switched to their large silver tarps. did the mulch thing, no Bueno. Our best solution was large rocks, larger than river rock and pea gravel. What's nice is there's absolutely no odor at all with this now. also look at using ratcheting straps to hold down the tarp to help preserve it from the wind. hope you find this instillation solves your issue.
This is actually really great to hear. Our family lives in TN and we are seriously considering a small homestead.
Deep litter doesn't work for us in North Alabama either. To much rain and temp fluctuation. Just makes a soggy mess/frozen poop mess
I live in south east TN and I've found the best way to do a chicken house is to put a couple inches of concrete down for the floor. I put maybe 3-4 inches of straw n shavings down. I shovel this out to the compost every 2-3 months before it turns to a concrete like mess. I've had ducks n chicken's together and it works pretty good.
I've had my boughts with the muddy mess we put raised boards about 4 in and poured it full of play sand no more mud
Who sings that opening song?
I love REAL people and what every 1883 is I don't know but you're better off here.
Let me say…….bring'in SISTA, teach me ……. I would like to be your farm hand……feed me, ….. give me a place to lay my head……..I am there!!
I can relate to the muck in the chickens(and everywhere). I must be near you I'm in Grundy county. 55 on Friday, 10 deg this morning…ugh!
Loves Pat, stay tough.
Heesnaw!
Love seeing your hair in this one.
