How to keep chicken poop from smelling so bad

[aemoody]

I have a lot of banana plants and ginger plants, big leafy green plants that grow well in

sub-tropical New Orleans.  I plan on using these, as well as mulch and wood shavings, of

course I'll cut and dry the big leafs before crunching them up and adding to the coop, again

I'll only have 3 Buffs so I don't imagine they can get TOO stinky.  Plus a good hosing and allowing

them to free range most of the day should help.


As I live in New Orleans my house is raised, though there is no way out to the front from under

the house, but do you imagine this could be a problem with the chickens seeking shade under the house?

Will they come out just as my dogs come and go as they please?
