I have 13 bantams, but still don't seem to collect enough poop for my hope of perfect compost. I could use more. Maybe if they were standards, I'd have enough? But I thought, at first, that more than 10 would be "a lot". I was wrong.
Here they're wandering the front yard:
They don't seem to take up ALL the space I have. There's plenty of room. And when I wander after them with my pooper scooper over the driveway, I only get half a scooper full after 3 days' worth of wanderpoopin.
Next, I'll be building a sandtray under their roosts, and using a kittylitter scooper to collect sandy poops which I'll mix with fine pine chips from the coop floor. Oh, yes, that's a plan. For more of these:
Chicken poop is like rocketfuel for roses. And, "scooping poop is therapootic" (found that here on BYC somewhere)
