Deep Litter in our Chicken Coop at Whistling Dixie Farms

I had only heard about this method a few weeks ago. Such a clever idea. Looks good.

What kind of floor is under? I would be afraid to make our raised wooden floor rot with this technique.

Tux Solbakk it is a cement floor. I don’t know how it would impact your wood floors. One issue you might have is depth. The bedding is well over 12” 30cm deep by the time we clean out. That would really fill up your coop, no?

With the tiny coop we have today, yeah, for sure it would! I am planning forward, when we have the barn fixed, and able to move them up there. The floor there is rotten, and I would need to fix it up before we can move. But again, you might be on to something with the dept, it is fairly low under the ceiling there too.
