It's added motivation for getting up early in the a.m.!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13437672469082239722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647772816326018516.post-57469272471006786962011-05-22T05:27:36.257-07:002011-05-22T05:27:36.257-07:00This is the same way I manage my chickens.

In fact, by the horses in the paddock near the barn, we don't even have to pick up the poop the chickens scratch it all down. The picture of you in a mask...that was me last Saturday.

When you live in a cold climate - and things get frozen - and the chickens are penned up - it is impossible to clean regularily. I'm glad another blogger is "real" enough to say it!
