Average poop?

[Hholly]

How much does the average chicken, especially bantam breeds, poop? I've been cleaning up after my new crew, and the 2 adult hens only seem to poop about twice a day. The poops look healthy. But I want to know if I'm missing a bunch somewhere or if that's normal.
TIA!

I couldnt say how much they poop per day (since we have 20 or so)
but estimating, maybe 1-3 a night, and perhaps 2-4 during the day?
As long as its healthy I say you dont have anything to worry about !

Seems mine poop twice as much as they eat! Just replied to say I love your nest boxes! Very clever!

Thanks for the info! They seem to be picking up speed now that they're settled in. Definitely seem very healthy.

LOL. Thanks, I stole the idea from someone else on here. Very easy to make. They used them to sleep in with the babies the first night I added them.

So clever. Easy to disinfect! Any way you could post pics in the coop and run feed? Super good idea for urban farmers! Bet folks would love it.
