Hey Duckgirl! Here's how I clean out the coop:
I get everything out Nests (if their movable), feeders, waterers, etc.
Than I lay a large tarp in front of the door and sweep or shovel it all on to the tarp. Then I fold the tarp and drag it to the old litter pile. Put fresh shavings in the coop and then put everything back in. I also change the nesting material from the nesting boxes and replace it with fresh. Its very easy!
No, sadly my little chickens haven't started laying yet. I will PM you a picture of the nesting boxes I built.
