  1. Just a note: To have a chicken coop that doesn’t stink, you must have enough carbon. I use deep bedding — 6-12 inches of sawdust (NOT Fine sawdust), with a layer of wood shavings on top, and just keep adding sawdust or shavings all winter as needed. The bedding underneath will slowly turn to the most wonderful dirt for your gardening. Toss some scratch down every night or so, and the chickens will keep the bedding turned and uncapped.

    You do not want a stinky coop, or your chickens can get sick. If you can’t stand the smell, neither can the chickens. In processing your own chickens, you can see the small size of their lungs; your goal is to keep your layers’ little lungs healthy and your chicken flock happy!

  2. Link to the bishop’s storehouses does not work. Went to the ChurchofJesusChrist.org website and kept getting “Page Not Found” when I clicked on any of the likely topics under “Self-Reliance”.

  3. Great article. Would add that with all those animals it will help your soil composition if u can get it spread on the land. Best is to compost it and maybe spread a little lime on top if your ph level is low.
