ChickenOut

Sleeping in our own excrement

It has been one week since I arrived in this large bare shed and not much has changed. The light isn’t on 24 hours any more but we have all been living, sleeping and toileting in the same floor shavings. I wonder if they’re going to leave us like this as it’s getting pretty dirty.

FACT CHECK:
Litter is usually not cleaned out during the lifetime of the chickens. After the first few days of life, light intensity is progressively decreased to reduce the birds’ activity, until the birds have just enough light to see to eat and drink.
