1st time shoveling poo

[Boo-Boo's Mama]

I have sand in the trays of the Chick-n-Hutches...have a scoop that is screen wire that sifts the sand and keeps the poo, feed and whatever else the chickens dropped through the wire.
Works great.

One reason I got chickens was so I had something to heat my compost pile up.

ETA: Chicken poo is high in nitrogen so if you are adding it to a compost pile be sure to add enough browns so it does not smell. Neighbors might complain. My pile is hot right now...neighbor behind me gave me 6 bags of fresh grass clippings plus I added some chicken poo.

Why in the world don't we have a compost bin?"

All you need is a place to pile it​

I'm not shy, after scraping the poo off the bare wood surfaces, I use my bare hands to pick up the gobs of poo from the pine shavings on the floor. My vegetables are growing extremely fast and large from all the chicken poo mixed in with the dirt there.

Lovely post. I use a kitty litter scoop too and just do it each morning when I let them out so that it doesn't pile up. It only takes a few minutes.
