My roosters are pecking each other

I have to pull one of them away from the other every time they try to fight. This is working, but I can't stay there all the time. It. Is. A. CHORE. Cleaning. Out. The. Chicken. Coop.

I agree about coop cleaning! I spent 3 hours yesterday on my brooder pen, the first and last 15 minutes are removing the 25 wiggly chicks to the "playpen" and then putting the little poopers back in. I keep thinking about using the shop vac but I am afraid I'll suck one up in it.

No, yes. I agree. But I meant the adult chickens' poop. it was literally, hmmm, 2 inches deep? I was thinking of engraving the words WELCOME on one of the "mats" of poo.
