Today our big project was moving Chooks out of the garage to the back yard. It’s warmed up and the snow is melting rapidly. Fortunately there was still a good layer with a hard crust so moving the coop back was much easier than putting it in the garage. I moved it most of the way without hurting my back (much). The chickens seemed to like having an outside to look at, even if they didn’t like the snow very much.
Mom was able to get the mess up from the garage floor because she had cleverly put down a thick layer of shredded paper bedding so the mash of bedding, food, and chicken poop just peeled up. I think it ended up in the garden. We did have to dig the power cord out of the snow so the chickens could have their sauna. And the garage is starting to not smell quite so bad.
