Hi to all,
Start with this, that morning we cleaned out the coop, sprayed it to
kill lice and any other thing that was in there that did not belong.
Inside the coop got a thick layer of shavings. All laying nest areas got
new clean layer pads for their nest area. Then we attacked the covered
area, cleaned, and sprayed then laid down clean hay thick for them.

| Mr. Cloud's Spurs |
Mr. Cloud's spurs size: One measuring the curve is 3 & 1/2 inches. The other
one's size is: 3 & 1/4 inches. One of them was larger around at the point
where it attaches to the leg.
So, Monday evening we approached the chicken coop. Went in and
dusted all of them all with Diatomaceous Earth. Then put a towel around
himself, picked him up and I held him, Vince used plies and twisted off
the spurs. It was easy, we then washed each tiny new spur with cleanser
and we sprayed it with the purple stuff, fights infection and protects while
it hardens off. Picks of the first set of spurs will come once I have cleaned
they up. Also sprayed the hen's backs, all their feathers are missing on
their backs. Spurs needed to be gone, so hens can recover.
He was such a lover, just laid limp in my arms while we worked. Got
to love a rooster like that.
The next day while doing my walk, I passed them all in the sunny spot
in the chicken yard, laying on their sides, with wings spread out. They all
looked so content and happy. I have never caught all doing this together.
The next day we got 7 eggs, meaning all chickens laid that day. Cleaning
the coop really pays off. 😇🤣😍
