In the spring we do a deep cleaning for all the animals' pens and beds.
Drainage ditches are repaired and redirected as the water problems are fresh in our minds and the ground is still soft.
Inside our chicken and Turkey houses we bed them with rice hulls. Rice hulls are inexpensive, sustainable, and do not cause mushrooms like the wood chips do during decomposition.
In the winter we do let the droppings under the roosts get deep. It may sound dirty, but the deep rice hulls and the droppings actually keep the room warm for them. It is also under the roost...where they don't walk around.
Even the goats like to help with spring cleaning.
