Keeping lofts tidy

I was out in the lofts early this morning 5 sections all cleaned out new easy bed put down happy now as this damp weather is no good they must be kept dry . Only 3 stock lofts to do now another day as I am knackerd now.

We have most of our to do still

i too use deep litter in all the lofts for winter the yb deep litter stays in but all the other sections are clean floors once racing commences deep litter is fine so long as it stays dry

I renewed bedding in two sections a week or so ago, ive 3 more to do yet before the bad weather comes.......

I wont be using any of that lay soft crap again, its easibed for me from now on.

How long do you leave the easy bed down before it gets changed ?, if long term do you just keep racking it over or change it weekly

Cheers for that didn't think it would be that long, will get some and see what happens

as long as its dry its fine , chris

chris, I remove droppings every few days under the perches......if I have time its alternate days, but at least every 3 to 4 days.

I then rake it over evenly again around the loft, and every so often I had some new/fresh to it...
