Chicken Coop Litter Box - MUST HAVE for your backyard coop! + My Chicken Food Mix | JR’S Life
In this episode I’m showing you my favorite feature that I built into my backyard chicken coop - a litter box! Basically it’s a pull out drawer lined in plastic that pulls out from the bottom of the coop that lets me clean their droppings etc very quickly and easily.
I like it because I can clean it from outside of the coop and load it into the wheelbarrow without having to get into the coop myself. It’s also minimally disturbing to the hens. The whole setup is working extremely well and I’m happy with it.
At the end of the video I also show a nicely balanced food mix that I give to our hens, some of which are a few years old now. It’s simple and easy to make and I store all the ingredients in custom built-ins in the back of the coop as well.
Come check it out!
Please share any questions, comments or tips of your own below, and I’ll do my best to respond.
***You might have noticed a “TV screen” looking device inside the coop - it’s an infrared heater for the cooler months since we live in Canada. You can check it out here:
