Keeping Our Hens Happy & Healthy (❤️) = Amazing Eggs for You (🐔🥚🍳)!

👉* Twice a Week Cleaning: We keep our coop tidy with regular cleanings to ensure a healthy environment for our hens!✨

👉* Monthly Deep Clean : Once a month, we give the coop a deep scrub down!

🐓🧼Here's what we do:

👉 * Walls & Floors get a good hand scrub with vinegar, lemon oil, and pure castile soap (🍋)

👉 * Used bedding gets raked out and added to our compost pile (♻️)

👉* Fresh diatomaceous earth gets sprinkled to keep unwanted pests at bay(🪰)

👉 * Nesting boxes get a thorough dusting and scrubbing to keep them cozy and clean (🪶)

👉 * Feeding and water buckets get a good scrub to keep everything fresh (🪣)

👉* Clean Yard, Happy Hens! : We also rake out any scraps from the yard and add them to our compost bins (️♻️).

🧼🧽By prioritizing a clean and healthy coop environment, we ensure our hens are happy and thriving! This translates to amazing, nutrient-rich eggs delivered straight from our farm to your table

What is really fun is within 1 week it will look identical to the before pictures. Then time to do it again! We ensure the health of our flock with every practice we use. This includes making sure our cleaning practices are also organic.

Maintaining a clean chicken coop is essential for the overall health and happiness of your hens. Here's an overview of why cleanliness matters and the best strategies to implement: 1. **Regular Cleaning Schedule** - Establish a routine of twice-weekly cleanings to keep the coop tidy. Regular cleaning prevents the buildup of harmful bacteria and parasites, ensuring a safe environment for your chickens. 2. **Deep Cleaning Practices** - A deep clean once a month can significantly improve the hygiene status of your coop. This includes scrubbing walls and floors with natural cleaners like vinegar and lemon oil, which are effective yet safe for animals. 3. **Bedding Management** - Regularly replacing bedding and adding it to your compost pile not only provides a cleaner space for your hens but also enriches your compost. This practice is crucial for maintaining healthy living conditions. 4. **Pest Control** - Utilizing diatomaceous earth is ideal for keeping pests at bay. Sprinkle it in areas where your hens roam to protect them from unwanted insects. 5. **Fresh Feed & Water** - Ensure feeding and watering stations are cleaned frequently. Scrubbing these items will keep your hens hydrated and nourished, promoting better egg production. By adhering to these tips, your chickens will thrive, resulting in delicious, healthy eggs straight from your backyard!
