Scrambled Egg -- the free-range chickens walk back to their coop throughout the day to lay their eggs in their coop nests. Locking them up in the coop their first 3 weeks here trains them to do that. So no, I don't have chickens laying eggs all over the place.

I keep a little plastic snow shovel on the coop porch, and whenever I go out there, I do a quick scrape. It gets most of it off, and I don't care if the shovel gets poop on it, since that's what it's for.

The porch of the coop is where the outdoor roosters like to perch at night when it's nice out, so I get a line of it right under the railing every morning.

Peace -

All I hear from my mom now that we have chickens is how bad their poop stinks and how about a million years ago she had to call on a client who had free ranging chickens, AND she stepped in the poo, AND it took a million years of cleaning before she FINALLY decided just to throw away her shoes...

Sigh...

This from a woman who grew up with chickens that came in her house, no indoor plumbing or electricity until she was a teenager, and a banty rooster that was her favorite pet.

Gonna take her some eggs on Sunday for Easter - maybe that will make her appreciate my chickens more (which she's never seen in person, BTW, but does watch them on ChickNCam from time to time)

This is a great product to use. I think they've discontinued it!
