- The first year that we moved onto our land, we were amazed (and a little horrified) at the number of beetles, moths, flies, and other insects. The number of pine moths was absolutely out of control.
- Year two, we introduced six chickens, and we were amazed at the difference: less than of the pine moths and other insects.
- Year three, we did not have chickens because a marten, fox, and dog managed to kill the chickens. That summer, the flies, moths, and beetles were up again (not as much as the first year, but certainly more than the second year.
- Year four, we got our protection sorted out and introduced more chickens (and a flock of baby chicks). The insects are much lower than year two.
- Every morning : Let your chickens out of the coop and into their enclosed run. Change their water, surface clean their coop, and check for eggs.
- Note: Some people choose only to clean the coop once a week. That makes it a bigger job, but not daily. Similar to dog poop, the longer you leave the poop, the more there is to get on the eggs and cause bacterial issues. My preference is to clean out the poop from the nesting boxes as well as the surface of the coop and enclosure daily. Then do a change of bedding and thoroughly clean the cage every week. In the mite season, I thoroughly scrub the coop weekly.
- Afternoon : Check for eggs again (if a hen is laying, she is likely to lay twice a day).
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening before dark : Lock them in their roost.
- Once a week : Clean the coop if youre not doing it every day Do your research, and if possible, get advice from a local chicken expert about your specific backyard situation. Personally, in an enclosed space, Im all for a bit of work every day rather than a lot of work once a week, and I also want to have clean eggs.
- Other random extras : Like any domestic animal, youll need to pay attention to any signs of health concerns (will be discussed later). You may also want to give them treats in the afternoon. Chickens need their feet cleaned when you handle them this can be a super quick wipe off once you get the motions down, and it's important to make them more comfortable handling them properly and checking their feet.
