I bought 2 new poop scrapers at the dollar store today. They are great at removing poop from the roosts and poop boards. The best part about these ones......they have a hand cover to keep the poop off of me for once! Lol Ok, I know they are ice scrapers. I usually keep plastic paint scrapers in all my coops, but they tend to get lost and I often get the poop on my hand. Yuck! These are larger (read...harder to lose) and more sturdy. I figured that for $1 each, I can't go wrong!
I'm a pretty big fan of using dollar store items for the chickens. I always buy dog bowls, puppy pee pads, band aids, sponges, baby bottle brushes, marbles, and colorful zip-ties at the Dollar Tree. In the Spring they also carry buckets and butterfly nets (good for catching chicks). Why pay more, right?
What a genius idea! I love the fact that your hand is covered. I'll have to pick up a few of these!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out the dollar store next time I need chicken supplies. I'm all about saving money!
