Fowl job

You know how it is with cleaning. You can get by for a while with quick tidy-ups and the occasional sprucing, but eventually there comes a time when you know you've left it too long, you can't put it off any longer, you have to give the place a proper mucking-out.

Yesterday I mucked out the chicken run. I ran a bath first so I could leap straight in when I was done, but even with that to look forward to it was an unpleasant job.

But I've learned something that will stand me in good stead when I become a "proper" smallholder:

It's only shit. It washes off. It won't kill you.
