Chicken Coop and Pen Deep Litter Method

First thing I did when I went out this morning was to hang up the Christmas Santa flag.

Then I cut some more pine branches.

Then I raked up some of the leaves

by the chicken coop

and put down a fresh layer

in the pen.

The leaves will give the chickens
something to dig and spread around
when they get up in the morning.

The chickens are out there
under the trees

scratching up

good things to eat.

 It's been a while since I've seen these videos about deep litter.

I've been following this method and it works

as long as I keep adding new litter.

I clear out the pen when it needs it...

I would like to try some silage, but haven't been able to get any.
