With the birds chirping and the flowers beginning to bloom, it's clear that spring has finally sprung on our homesteads. And you know what that means—it's time for a bit of spring cleaning! But let's not forget about our furry and feathered friends during this seasonal refresh. This week, we've been all about giving our animal shelters a thorough clean-up, and I wanted to share some highlights and tips that we've covered on our social media platforms.
First off, let's talk about the importance of starting fresh. Just like us, our animals appreciate a clean environment. It keeps them healthy, happy, and in the case of our chickens, maybe even laying more eggs. We discussed the essentials of clearing out old bedding, removing any cobwebs or dust, and ensuring that our shelters are not just visually clean but sanitized and safe from any lurking pathogens. Remember, a little elbow grease now can save us a lot of trouble down the line.
