We still need to add doors and put the chicken wire up on the interior walls, and finish the outside fence, but it's looking worlds better than when we started.
- scraped & swept out all the junk and poop
- hosed out the inside
- scrubbed & swept the dirty water out several times
- sloshed vinegar over the floor and a bit up the walls (see this post by Jill over at the Prairie Homestead)
- scrubbed the floors again
- hosed the coop out again
- scrubbed and swept the water out one last time
- left it to dry
- started building walls!
looks like fun. I also put diatomaceous earth down before the bedding it helps to prevent lice and flies. Your little girl is so darn cute!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my favorite, scrubbing coops! I know how much time that takes, not to mention we've had enough poultry construction projects around here the last couple of years to keep us busy for a lifetime. Your coop is looking great though, and you know it will all be worth it as soon your adorable little chicks arrive!!!
