Cleaning the coop

In our effort to keep healthy and happy chickens, I have the coop a good cleaning.
I pressure washed everything in the coop.   Oddly enough,  the chickens managed to poop on everything.  I also took this time to put up or new improved brooder. It's been outside since we introduced the reds to the flock.
Our "Country Tuff" wagon made a great washing platform since it's mesh and can move to better drainage areas.  
To top it off,  we moved the cage over 20 foot to allow us to scoop up the contaminated soil. I stopped after I filled the first barrel.  Should make some good compost in a short while.  

As a side item,  Red did his part to help me with the excess grass I brought up to line the cage...
