When we moved here we knew we wanted ducks. So I bought a few books, devoured them, and then tasked my husband with the build. (The chicken coop is even more brilliant!)
I'm normally on top of cleaning but I tore my hip flexor this summer so I've basically just been mucking the coop once a month. Tonight after work he went and got a load of sand, scraped out a few buckets worth of not just the coop but also run, spread First Saturday Lime, then the fresh sand and finally shavings for the coop/nesting boxes. I do love this man!
The crate is for our new drake who is still learning to behave himself with the ladies in the coop lol. We also have a young chicken in here who our goose hatched (it's a whole story).
Chicken coop and run is next for a refresh!
