My neighbor told me I was shaming my hens with a dirty coop
Saw a guy at the feed store in Austin last week who said my girls would never lay well if I only cleaned the coop once a month. He said ammonia buildup messes with their breathing and stress levels. So I switched to spot cleaning every 3 days plus a full bedding swap weekly. Has anyone else noticed a real difference in egg production after stepping up their cleaning routine?

@susan_wells honestly I think the taste thing is mostly in people's heads unless the coop is really nasty. But yeah I pushed back when my buddy told me I was overcleaning my coop and honestly my girls started laying more consistently once I swapped to weekly deep cleans. Tbh it's more about their health than the flavor but a healthier hen is gonna give you better eggs regardless.
