Maintain Brooder Box with Fresh Shavings

What happens here

Periodically maintain the brooder box by adding new wood shavings over any accumulated manure. This simple practice helps keep the brooder clean, dry, and sanitary for the young chicks. Once saturated with manure, the old shavings can be collected and spread over bare patches in your yard or garden. This natural fertilizer, rich in nitrogen, will significantly boost grass and plant growth, effectively repurposing chicken waste into a valuable soil amendment.

Goal: Keep brooder clean and repurpose manure as fertilizer
