Yes indeed you are right, they make a MESS and your suggestions are good ones! Most are 3 months, some are 4 months. So far I've been hosing the entire porch and furniture cushions (water resistant fabric) every day, but I may get weary of it. It's just so cozy to have them there that for now I'm willing. Here they are snoozing, harp strings in the foreground....I love playing out there, and who knows, maybe they even like the music!This scene is beautiful and I love your porch. I am wondering how long you've had them? They seem like young pullets? This may be an unpopular opinion, but they are going to wreck that pretty porch with poop. Maybe they need some covered areas in the yard? Mine spend most of the day under the picnic table. Shade and hawk protection. Possibly some furniture off the porch with some food tidbits under it each day will reorient them in time to save the pretty porch...
p.s. We have family bbq dinner for our group of 10 on this porch every Sunday, so I give it an extra good cleaning in time for the cushions to dry. Poor chickens are prohibited Sunday afternoons!
