Cleaning The Chicken Coop

We loaded up the yard cart with feed, grit, sawdust, scratch grains, bucket and Airiana.  Then we stopped at the barn and got shit shovel and wheel barrow.  Then we all headed out to the coop. The chicken coop didn't take that long to clean but the ducks sure are making a mess of the water. We shooed all the chickens and ducks out and locked the ramp so they couldn't get back in. I parked the yard cart around the side of the coop in the shade and Airiana thought that was great because she could see me through the window. :)  Trevon took the 5 gallon waterer to the spicket and cleaned it while I scooped out the coop. By the time Trevon got back from filling up the waterer I had the coop scooped, the wheel barrow full, and fresh saw dust down. I also had already filled up the garden cart again.  We filled up the grit feeder and the chicken feeder and put the water back in. We had the water in the weaker corner of the coop and I decided to move it to stronger corner.  The whole inside of the coop is insulated with reflectix and it's nice and cool in there. We then let the chickens back in and they were real happy with us then they went back outside to find all the scratch grains.  It was much quicker and easier than cleaning the horse stalls! LOL  Will take pics soon promise!
