Chicken coop poop tube

3 months into this experiment and it looks like it is working. Goal is to concentrate the droppings, vent it and make it easy to remove from coop.

I can only imagine that 3 months of poop staying in that tube, uncovered, unmixed with straw or any other bedding material...it's gotta create one heck of a a stink with all of the ammonia fumes. How do you address that and make sure the air in the coop is healthy?

My thoughts as well. I'd imagine cleaning that would be a real pain.

I imagined something like a giant caulk gun.

Visiting family in Wyoming, I found it so dry that one gets alligator skin. I imagine this system works there because the poop dries out almost instantly. Might not be a solution for all climates, but an ingenious idea for for theirs.
