  • A quick rundown of how we winterize our chicken coop for our cold northern winters. We use the deep litter method and explain a little about how simple it is to maintain the coop and keep your chickens happy and warm over the coldest months of the year.

    This is what we plan on doing with our layers the deep litter method. First year with the chickens here.

      It makes for a very low maintenance setup in the winter. Good ventilation will help keep the moisture from their poop down.

    So glad i came by your CZcams channel. We're looking to relocate and manitoba looks to be where we'll be moving. So this is pretty cool haha

      @Wilderstead  Před rokem +1

      We lived in Manitoba for a couple of years. Wasn’t our thing though, so moved to northern Ontario which is much more in line with our goals and livelihoods. Good luck with the move!

      @@Wilderstead thank you! We're looking to start homesteading and most of the country is out of our budget so that's got a lot to do with the location we're going with. Any advice would be greatly appreciated since you guys have lived in manitoba before.

    Does the deep litter method produce bad odors in the coop & run?
