I'm a month in to my chicken-keeping career, 4 girls in a wooden coop with an enclosed run. Everyone is happy and laying well, but I totally underestimated the amount of poop!
I clean out the droppings board every day and have just been raking the floor of the run and adding some easychick. The run itself is about 3m x 1m. When I let them out the run its onto the lawn, and I am having to go round every day to try and scrape it all up.
Does this sound usual? How often do you empty the droppings tray? Do you clean up the grass a lot?
