[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 158186, member: 1991"] Just another note about cleaning up smelly henhouses - we've found with our giant 'compost heap' that if we keep it dry, it doesn't smell. We just have to keep the rain out of it and try to not slop the water when we change it (we use a bucket to carry it in rather than use the hose in there). If it does get wet and smelly - I sprinkle garden lime around in there. And we have about six hens in the space where you probably have one. Sometimes the rain blows in, and that's when I have to hold my nose and grab the lime. Otherwise - no problem. I still wear boots because I don't want to step in anything squishy, but generally there's no problem. Pigs - definitely muddy & smelly. At least ours were. But that was because we put a lot of water in the sty for them, they loved a good mud wallow. We kept pigs off an on, over the years, when I was growing up. I remember the last ones - a boar and a sow that my father called Porky and Bess. Marg [/QUOTE]
