After a couple hours of shoveling out the old shavings, dusting for any pests, and adding some new bedding the cleaning was almost done. Only thing left was to add some new nesting boxes as our chicks from last spring have finally started laying. I'm excited about using the wire baskets for the new nest boxes as they should last a long time and be extremely easy to clean. Both are huge pluses. The girls seem to really like the new nest boxes too. In less than 12 hours we had 2 eggs waiting on usMonday, February 6, 2012
