House-a-Keeping...You Need Cleaning?

"Hello, you've reached housekeeping, how may we assist you?"

"Cluck, Cluck, Bok, Bok, Cluck, Cheep, Cheep, Cluck, Cluck, Bok!"

"Absolutely, we will send someone out right away to take care of that for you." A nice warm day lends itself to the cleaning of the chicken houses......all six of them!No, there is no outbreak of some strange virus in our area. Countrychick and I both wear face masks to protect ourselves from all of the chicken dust...and the smell of course.
The chickens just love it when we do a deep cleaning and fill their houses with fresh pine shavings.

And then Countrychick gives the bedding a nice "fluffing" and the chickens go berserk with happiness. Happy cows may come from California, but Happy Chickens come from our backyard!

Oh my goodness--just the other day I was telling my daughter how I thought we should turn out little unused goatshed into a chicken coop. Yikes!! I'm pretty sure I am NOT up to that. Rock on you REAL women you!!

Wow...good job, girls! You deserve a nice evening out (on the chickens!) after all that hard work.

LOL! Such good times you had there! The photo of CC peeking out of the chicken doorway made me laugh! Good idea with those masks, too. I need to get me one for sure.

Whew! Celebrate a job well done. I bet all the chooks slept like folks do in a 5 star hotel. :)

You guys are such good little chicken mommas. I bet they loved it and battled over who was the first one to mess it up.

Wish I would have had something to thin out the stink when my momma made me clean the coop. You go CC!
