| West End: Viewing window, Poop Deck below, Nursery at bottom |
 |
| Some random tools are hanging around as needed |
 |
| barrel locks open "Poop Deck" door |
 |
| Door hooks in open position here |
 |
| Wire grate is to keep birds from scratching in straw |
 |
| Looks like this when coop needs cleaned |
 |
| Poops can get stuck on the wire rack and need to be picked off |
 |
| Tray slides out for easier access |
 |
| hand picking the poops out really doesn't take that long |
 |
| Saves straw |
 |
| Poops go in a bucket we keep nearby for that purpose |
 |
| They might come and "help" you |
 |
| What they really want are the occasional seed heads in the straw |
 |
| Troublemakers! |
 | |
| After all the poops are cleaned out, it may like its straw refreshed |
 |
| Lift the bar to access the supply closet on the east end |
 |
| Tip it up and out of the way |
 |
| So you can open the door |
 |
| and hook it here |
 |
| Everyone will help you get straw :-D |
 |
| Fill the yellow bucket |
 | |
| Store leftovers for the next time |
 |
| Slide the tray back in |
 |
| Take the bucket of poops in the used straw |
 |
| Place it in the compost |
 |
| Leave the bucket nearby for the next use |
...and you're done! This process took 30 minutes. It should be done as needed, anywhere between once and twice per week.
