Poop

Yep... you have to get to this topic eventually with chickens I think...

The chicks are in our garage... that was a GOOD choice.  Not just because of our 2 cats.

Our lovely silly, playful, sentimental, loving Tommy who climbs onto the roof of our gazebo then cries because he wants his belly scratched (I once watched a mouse attack him in our back yard!) 

And Lucy, our elderly grey Tabby who is still a very good hunter! Albeit not cuddly and quite cranky.

Yes the garage was also a good choice due to start of a bit of a smell. 

I did read that they do smell a bit.. but "if you keep the coop clean this will not be a problem".... and they suggest once a week for routine clean. Again my arrogance thought... "OK once a week I can do, they can't smell that much"... can they?

At first they didn't smell at all.  But now that they are getting SO much bigger!  And we change their paper every couple days.... The smell so far for me isn't a <<terrible>> smell... really and it's not strong at all.  It's more of a slight farmish smell... earthy kinda?  But the kids are starting to comment on it.... so I'm really glad they are in the garage.  I wonder how much stronger it will get?

Betcha thought I would show a big photo of "you know what" eh? Not today!

Did you say I smell?
