Free ranging with Kids

If you have a small yard you can't really keep them from pooping where the children play. I really only see the option of a chicken diaper which isn't really realistic for an everyday solution.

I put a lot of hay in my chicken run or yard. When I want to be with the chickens - go into their yard. Your kids can have special shoes for this. Then when they go out, they take the shoes off- this will keep your people yard cleaner, and really your porch, or patio, outdoor furniture. They won't be dragging in chicken poop into the house on their shoes.

Yes this may be the best way haha my oldest does have some special boots for the chicken yard and he goes in some to hang with them or get the eggs!

I know I’m asking for a solution that doesn’t exist haha! Our yard is pretty small and they already take up at least 1/3 of it with their fence!
