Favorite coop cleaning tools

[WhiteRockCrazyBird]

After trying various combos of brooms and scoops, I think I found my favorite combination of coop cleaning tools. A bench broom and dust pan flick poos right over the pine pellets into the pan. Then the squeegee works perfectly on the poop boards! My coop floor is about 5 foot by almost 6 foot, i have 11 hens, and I clean all the poop outta the coop in less than 5 minutes. Thought I'd share. What's everyone else's best tools?

I do shavings, no poop boards, and shovel it all out twice or three times each year. Just add shavings once in a while in between, and it's fine. This winter I have 41 chickens, way too many for the poop board thing!

Nice. I have a square shovel, a scrub brush for roosts and such, and a small scraper.

I have a couple of shovels and pitchforks, and a manure spreader. Mary

I do a mix of shavings and straw. I turn the bedding once in awhile and add a new layer on top. I clean it completely out 2x a year with a old hoe.

One of my favorite tools is a small child-sized rake. It works well for me with any tight spaces in the coop because there's no long handle to get in the way and the smaller head fits into places a full sized rake won't.

I too do pine shavings and clean out a couple times a year. Since I just built a new coop, I had to go find some new tools. I bought a small rake on a long handle. I can open the back of my coop and the rake reaches clear through to the pop door. I just fluff things up once in a while. I also have a kitty little scoop which is useful for pushing back the shavings that make their way into the pop door area or and stray poos and shavings that get too close to the back doors. I just flick them back in with the scooper. Works for me.

I clean the poop from under the rooster everyday. I also clean the whole coop once a month. I wear disposable gloves and use a small shovel to scoop everything into garbage bags.

I could not do without my ice scraper. You know those ones designed for cleaning ice and snow off car windows. It's great for scraping off stubborn poop. I have one that has a glove/mitt attached to shield my hand.
