Im hoping this is the right place to post this...
Ive got 3 chickens and this is my first time having them. Ive got a coop/runner all built in one which is 5ft by 7ft. The sides have clear plastic surrounding it so the rain doesnt get in it and get it wet. Where I live it rains,rains,rains.
The ground is pretty soft dirt and pebbles.
So this might sound silly to ask and if so go ahead and giggle....lol....but when the ground gets covered in poop how do I clean it out?
Dig up some of the top dirt and turn it upside down? If so how often like once a month or every few months?
Is the poop toxic after awhile or is it no biggie?
The rain cant get into the runner area at all so its mostly soft dirt.
