Chickens are pooping machines. But in my opinion as some others have stated, if you use the deep litter method, it is very manageable. I use a putty knife ever morning on the roosts and I use a pitch fork to stir the litter up.
I can go weeks before I have to clean the pen out.
My coop doesn't stink anymore either. Before I used the deep litter, the pen got stinky and no less than once a week cleaning was the only thing that would do.
If you keep after, you shouldn't have a problem. And chickens are so much fun. They are worth it!
