Shen Bon: informative
jessica murillo: Great advice
Melissa Bitter: Justin, you kind of skipped over the permanent coop on cleanup. (You're awesome by the way!) So for those of you wanting a permanent coop and in case it's not a topic for the webinar: for cleaning out the coop w/the deep litter method, if it starts to smell, just add more carbon (wood chips, pine needles, sawdust/sand mixture, whatever) and then clean it out once a year. Also, be careful not to rot out the sides of your barn. Tack up some plywood to protect the inside parts of the permanent coop, or put up cinder blocks like Justin does. Also, I've heard some people say to use up to 2 feet of deep bedding, I think the key is just not to get too little. :)\n\nIt's better to have the chickens move around, but if you have to have a stationary coop, the deep bedding isn't just for the ease of caring for the chickens, it's also good for their health. That deep bedding promotes a healthy bacterial environment and helps the chickens stay healthy.
M Leonard: I didn't know that about the straw and hay. We've been using predominantly straw. We tried pine shavings but they didn't seem to like laying their eggs in it. For now we use mainly straw. We stake our goats near the house for now and feed some hay (no fencing yet and the forage needs to regrow). What hay they leave on the ground gets gathered up on a dry day along with the fallen leaves and pine needles and divided between the chicken coop and goat shed. This means I"m only raking fall leaves a couple 5-gallon bucketfuls at a time 😉 I'll be switching to pine shavings and leaf litter mostly after we build our new coop this spring.
Frederick Dunn: +M Leonard Sounds good! :)
Doing It Better: I've watch all the back logged vlogs and other vids so now I'm waiting for these everyday. :)
