Thx. Also, remember that the cleaning is quite a lot of work. Have just spend the whole morning shovelling chicken and duck shit. However, has gone straight onto the veg. garden so there are some positives!

Nice video. Happy looking chickens. I hope to have some eventually to help with composting.

We normally spread sawdust and only use hay now for the laying boxes and bedding for the geese or ducks. Why do you say not to use hay but only straw?
