Ease of cleaning!

Less maintenance!

Oh gosh! I like so many things about this coop, it’s hard to pick one particular thing. From the eco friendly perspective, sustainability and easy maintenance (not to mention the warranty) it seems like this is the coop to have! 🐔❤️

I have considered that because I have seen pin feathers coming in only to disappear again. I work from home so I have the opportunity to spend quite a bit of time with them and have not seen much feather picking .

Thank you! I have created a post titled depluming mites vs fungal skin infection. I think it’s in the right spot for illness and such .
