I've been looking into the deep litter method and think I will try it this winter. I've been cleaning the coop a lot lately because it has been so hot. I'm worried that letting the bedding sit in the coop and compost will roast my little chickies! We usually don't bag our grass clippings...

My compost pile is not covered, so maybe that's why it stinks. Arrg! It has also been unbelievably rainy here for the past couple of weeks. We've been getting drowned at least once a day and that's when I noticed the smell starting to be a problem.

I only have a couple of chickens (hoping to get more soon). What do you do with all the poo? I've got a compost pile, but how do I keep it from getting stinky? Add lime? Any advice would be appreciated!
