Chicken cleaning

Yep, familiar with these coops. Roosts are not sized or spaced well.
Ventilation is almost non existent.
Mild climate might help, but still.
That might help.
Best of cLuck!

They seem happy to me so that’s all that matters really

but you asked a question and that was my opinion on coop management.

I didn't ask a question, @Oreoandhens did.

But I'll tell you why I do it my way.
My coops are about 3.5 feet wide, about 3.5 feet high where the roosts are. No room for poop boards.
My coops are raised with wood floors, one resin coated, the other painted. No deep litter gonna happen here. Shown here during rebuild before roosts and 4th wall added.

Like I said egg sales pay for everything my hens need to be happy, feed, scratch, and shavings.
All 3 are sustainable, just plant more. GC

I didn’t mention deep litter. Just a reusable scoopable litter. I had asked the OP if they changed their litter weekly and they said yes. I did not realize when replying that somehow you were answering the question as well, sorry for that oversight.

I think both of us are in the same situation with smaller coops as a lot of people have walk in massive coops which isn’t the case for me.

True, how true it is.
We just got to do what works for us. GC
