The tiny henhouse where my 3 hens roost is about 3'x3'x3' inside.
Right now I have pine shavings on the floor about 4 inches thick and poop boards under the roosts.
I have been scraping the poop boards every day.
However, as I said in my last post, I'm planning on going on vacation and my son and roommates will care for the hens.
How often is it REALLY necessary to scrape the poop boards?
I do it every day because they really poop a lot at night and I want them to have a clean place to sleep.
But is that necessary?
Is there a better way of handling the floor in a tiny roosting area?
I'm open to ideas.
Below is a photo of the inside of the henhouse.
The nesting boxes are no longer inside - there are pine shavings and poop boards on the floor.
But as you can see, it is small, so it gets stinky pretty quickly.
Thoughts?
Advice?
