I am raking the outside portion of my chicken coop (6ft X 6FT) each evening because my 5 - 6week old chicken are outside most of the day eating weeds, grass, pellets, and bugs, plus pooping all day. I am afraid they we get sick eating and pooping in the same area. New to raising chickens - Am I just being a nervous hen myself?
