Flooring

[charlesdunn2006]

I bought the Redbarn coop from TS. I'm trying to decide what is the best route for keeping a clean coop. Right now we are moving the coop to a different spot in the yard after about a week because the grass gets filled with droppings but this is a chore especially if I expand the coop like planned. I am hesitant on adding the flooring as the hens like to roam the grassy area. Any suggestions?

There is a tractor kit you can buy (or you can make one) to make moving it a lot easier. If you find that your waste is building up too fast for a given space that is an indication of not enough space for the number of birds.
