Organize Nesting & Manure Removal

pellets okay layer pellets and those that's just the do-more tractor supply brand that i use right there works pretty good this coupe is a four by eight meaning it's based on a four foot by eight foot pressure treated piece of plywood and that's what the floor is you can see right here i've got it designed where i can slide a wheelbarrow up underneath here i slide this board out and then i can rake all my manure and all of my goodies into the wheelbarrow and put them into the garden very cool almost automated now if we come out here i built a nesting box and i do not have plans for this guys you're gonna have to use your imagination and build this coop on your own okay so we've got four four by fours right here that hold the coop up it's open to air i live here in north carolina this is open to air it helps it breathe it helps to get rid of dust and it's good for the chickens awesome i only have to button this up in the very very cold part of the winter and when i do that i'll just wrap it in plastic clear plastic okay we'll open up to our eggs this is our egg bin you can see i put these little latches on here that will help hold it up so that i don't have to hold it up the whole time there's also a light right here in case we're getting eggs up after dark very very cool and i did have a little hydraulic cylinder on here that came out of my car but uh that has since gone by the wayside it just fell apart kinda so if you look down in here you'll see the eggs here's what you need to know about eggs the chickens are going to try and lay these eggs and they're going to have poop on them sometimes that's just normal they're going to try and lay all their eggs in one of these laying boxes and i've dispersed the eggs just a little bit and i just repacked everything you want to keep good fresh straw and or sawdust and shaving straw in the nesting boxes sawdust and shavings in the coop and in the run is what i use most of the time but for today's video i went ahead and just put straw in there chickens will peck through it get all the seeds out and they'll utilize it a whole lot so
