Good to know. I had read also that the chickens would scratch and claw at the mixture of leaves etc to create the compost and then after a period of time that would go on to a garden
Thanks
I had no idea this would be such a science to the design. Looks pretty cool. Anyone have any thoughts to a no floor method where the chickens do the composting with the droppings and leaf material?
Try a plywood floor and use glasboard to cover it. glasboard is a textured laminate that will keep the poop from sticking and it's easy to clean. Or check our horizon structures website and look at a cleaner coop cage. awesome
