Do you have them in a hardware cloth bottom cage? Makes life much easier.
No, I tried it when I had meat chickens and didn't care for it. Too many foot problems. I use deep litter in the coops and runs. When I clean the coops I just shove the bedding into the run for them. They think it's the best thing ever! I don't clean it like that often. Every few months
but I do try to flip the coop bedding once a week.
I actually picked one out of my hair while driving home from the airport Saturday. That's not a fun discovery at 80 mph. So it's a good thing that I didn't have a sleepover with Kiki. 

3 is too many.
