My winter coop secret: deep litter for warmth and less trash

This method cuts down on bedding and turns waste into compost for my plants.

Yeah, the part about it cutting down on bedding really got me. I was a total clean freak with my coop, hauling everything out every single week. Took forever. Tried the deep litter method last fall and figured out it just works. Way less work for me, and the birds clearly liked the built up heat. Totally changed my whole winter routine.

That built up heat is a game changer for sure. Just add a thin layer of fresh bedding on top every week or two to keep it fresh, right?
