Time for an Autumn Check-up of Your Chicken Coop

September is when temperatures begin to drop, and it's important to prepare your chicken coop for the darker, damper months ahead. We go through the coop, replace old bedding material, check that ventilation works optimally, and ensure that both the roosts and nesting boxes are in the best possible condition.

A clean and well-organized coop means healthier chickens, fewer diseases, and – most importantly – better egg production when autumn sets in. This is an investment that pays off all year long.

Checklist for September Cleaning

• Clean all corners and hidden areas
• Inspect roof and walls for moisture
• Test the ventilation system
• Replace worn bedding material
• Check nesting boxes for damage

From Den Lille Hagen i Fjære, we continue to deliver fresh chicken eggs from our happy hens – coop or no coop!
