woodenful design, i have question about the plywood. i saw the egg collection part is outside the chicken house without any cover. it was exposed to the sun and rain. will it broken after long time using?
@scrapyardchickensКүн бұрын
Thank you, so my overhang from the roof does semi-protect it. I made sure to paint it though and after almost a year I have had no issues with it. Of course if this is a concern and you would rather have it inside the coop you can just turn it around. Just be sure to still cover the part the eggs roll to so the chickens can't get to the eggs. Good luck!

I use a mix of hay and straw, ( less straw) , when I feed and water I take a potato fork and pull the good up and turn the bad down. Once the hay is either eaten or gone it starts to smell. It then goes to the mulch pit and a new heavy layer goes down. About 6 inch. Kinda like a barn in a movie. Twice a year. Works for me

I only used deep litter method when I went on vacation for 2 weeks once! For daily basis, I use sand mixed with top soil and ashes for chicken coop and run. Less flies but I have to clean it out using cat littler scoop.

My husband has like I think a 4 x 4 that separates the coop floor from underneath the roost and under the roost we have sand and I scoop it out with a kitty litter scoop. It is super easy. Anyway, whatever size it is the board is high enough that when they scratch around in the Pines shavings, they do not get into the sand underneath the roost. We do the deep litter method, and I would say it’s a least, a foot deep with litter, we use pine shavings. We only change them out twice a year. We always put diatomaceous earth all around the edges and mix some of it up into the pine shavings. It helps to keep away lice and mites. It’s important that you use the food grade diatomaceous earth only. And you do not want to breathe that or have it all stirred up when your chickens are in there you can read the back of the package. I just have a nail on the wall for a Walmart bag and a nail for the kitty litter scoop and I scoop it out and after the Walmart bag is about halfway full, I tie it and throw it in the trash.❤️🙏 I hope that helps. It never ever ever stinks.❤️🙏❤️🙏😉😉😉😉 I watch a Lady on KZbin. The channel is called. Welcome to chickenlandia, she has a video called get rid of those pesky flies in your chicken coop for good. She talks about the litter in that video but her channel is excellent. I highly recommend.❤️🙏

Thank you for sharing! I had read about using the sand similar to kitty litter. That might be the way to go. I like having it separate from the pine shavings. Thanks!

I don't use deep litter method, but am considering it. However, I do not believe you are doing it correctly. Rather than scraping out the two bags of litter that you put in, you put fresh litter on top of the old litter (until it builds to about 4"), and only do the full clean out every X amount of months (probably depends on season, but usually 3 months or more). What you seem to be doing is 'shallow litter', which yes, will get annoying because of the frequency. Also, get yourself a big decent hoe, will probably deal with the clean out far more efficiently.
@scrapyardchickens2 ай бұрын
I guess I should have clarified that my deep litter was specifically for under their roost. I would Layer fresh bedding under that area specifically. A hoe is a good idea! I'll give that a try!

If you don’t have any embedment (concrete footings, rebar, piers) and also drainage, it isn’t a retaining wall. It’s basically a landscaping wall. Retaining walls have structural components necessary to actually retain.

So in a world where these railroad ties see thousands of tons a day for decades, some backfill is not going to do much harm very quickly. Just have to keep the backfill drained properly, which is necessary for any other material as well

Hey! I wish you luck on your build, that's exciting! For the Nesting boxes specifically the only thing I would add is once you know your chickens are okay with the material you line the box with I would glue it down so they can't scratch it out. Let me know if you have any questions! I do have full coop build videos as well if you need to reference those. Thanks for watching!
