A Small Change That Makes a Difference

Chicken coop at Genevieve Grove with woodchip bedding, ducks and hens resting in a fenced garden area in the Tuscan countryside near Vinci.

Today I changed the bedding in the chicken coop for the first time.
I replaced the cut grass with woodchips, and the difference is immediately apparent.

The coop feels drier, cleaner, and more comfortable.
I used cut grass before because it was what I had at the time. This feels like the right next step.

Small adjustments matter. The animals feel it immediately.


Un piccolo cambiamento che fa la differenza

Oggi ho cambiato per la prima volta la lettiera del pollaio.
Ho sostituito l’erba tagliata con trucioli di legno e la differenza si sente subito.

Il pollaio è più asciutto, più pulito e più confortevole.
Prima avevo usato l’erba perché era quello che avevo a disposizione. Questo è il passo successivo, naturale.

I piccoli accorgimenti contano. Gli animali lo percepiscono subito.
