Tips for a Clean(er) Chicken Coop 

I always turn to Lisa for advice and help! So much knowledge and she’d never steer you wrong!

I love the idea of putting contact paper behind the roosts! So smart.

Hi Lisa, I would like you to know there is a 9 year old girl in Rhode Island who faithfully and joyfully watches every one of your videos! She has been on her own chicken journey (along with the rest of our family) and we happily apply many things we have learned from you. Even our pickiest egg eater in the family has become a creamed egg eating fan! So thank you for all you do!!!! 🤗

What a beautiful coop. You have done a great job.

Beautiful coop

I do wish i could have seen more. Especially when you were referring to cleaning under the roosting area.

Your chicken house is so just darling. Cutest I’ve seen and thanks for the tips

❤️❤️❤️. Thank you!

Wow! What great practical information. Thank you!

I use hemp from Carolina coop

Thank you for sharing your experiences! Have you ever considered adding a droppings board under your roosts , that catches the droppings and you clean off every morning.. I use PDZ coop fresh sprinkled on top of the board… it was a game changer for me!

Excellent ideas. Thank you.

What is the best roof for a chicken coop? My coop is nearly 100 years old and the roof is so rotted it’s about to fall in. Shingles or metal? Thanks, videos are great and provide tips that you don’t hear anywhere else! 🐔🐥🐤🐣🐓

So glad I found this video. We are converting our grown daughters’ playhouse into a coop because it’s bigger (9x7) and we have wondered if we were making a mistake because we thought we would ruin it but seeing your coop and how great it looks puts my mind at ease. We will keep our first coop (4x6) with only food and water (in winter) with no access to nest boxes and no roost bar. We will keep food and water outside and NOT in the new coop for the reasons you stated. The new coop is insulated, dry walled and has electricity. I’ll search your videos to see if you show your ventilation. We have 5 windows in our coop but won’t leave windows open when we get heavy midwest storms (Nebraska).

Thanks. A lot of great info.

This is my first time see I g your coop so cute. Thank you for the info very helpful. Im a new chicken mom.

Darling chicken coop!!!!!!!!

Also....the little attachments near the floor next to the curtain behind you or those little feeders?

I have poop boards and scrape them daily. No trouble with smell, flies or dirty floors.

I bought DE again recently but forgot how absolutely dusting it is!!!

I always wondered if you could use pine needles/straw for the litter on the floor...no one has ever said that you can, except you. I already use leaves. There are lots of pine trees in my yard and I'd like to be able to use the straw also.

What about pine flakes for their bedding? That’s what I’ll be using for my chick brooder come Spring, and people really seem to love it

2 questions??? If tge chickens stay out most of tge time .then how do they lay tgere eggs if you keep them out most of tge day ..and I tried straw seemed straw always attracted mice..so I went to sand ..that was scooping poop..my husband is building another coop that can be washed out and a drain pipe run out into our woods ..I like the look of your flooring. But I'm just afraid of rats ..we are in the woods ..your coup is cute ..gives me ideas ..tks

How many bags of the hemp bedding did you use fir your coop?

Beautiful coop! How many acres do you have?

To do the spray cleaner do you use a slice orange or just peeling ? I watch your other videos where you used the whole thing ? Thank you

A big thing I noticed since you didn't really show everything the roost bars are way to close to the wall no Chicken could roost comfortably there they also are to flat Two bye three's and two by fours are best for roosting Chickens

Quick question if you get them as chicks how would I get them used to me

My chickens won’t roost they lay on the floor. I have blocked nests at night to break them from sleeping in them.

Ugh. Shavings are DUSTY For real!!!!! I have twenty three 25 day old chicks in my basement right now but the new coop is almost done so they’ll be moving out SOON!!! I have been contemplating getting the hemp. Is the cost worth it???

How did you build your nest boxes and the roosts?

My coop floor is dirt so I add pine shavings but if I don’t change it often starts to smells like ammonia. Any suggestion on this?

What type of floor is in your coup?

How do you keep the ducks out of the nest boxes. I cant keep mine clean because the ducks are in there. I have closed it off as you described but then my chickens don't have a nest box to lay in. I recently took the duck out of my chicken coop and put them in a little area by themselves because they mess up the coop so bad. Now I have 2 areas to clean instead of one. Any ideas would be great!

What is the brand of de for smell ?

I love your coop but it's not logical for most especially me I thought I had nice coop but not like hers, I do clean my coop every week.

New friends here just subbed, come on over for a visit. I absolutely love your chicken coop it’s for adorable. Look forward to connecting. Blessings
