What is the deep litter method when it comes to raising backyard chickens? It's a way to keep healthy, happy chickens in a stink-free coop (no ammonia smell) by piling up shavings into a deep bed on the floor. If you use this method, the deep bedding also creates garden-ready compost simultaneously.

Join me with Harvey Ussery as we discuss everything you need to know about getting started and maintaining the deep litter method in your chicken coop.
