Need suggestions on the best way to clean out the coop...

[ChobeeChickenMommy]

Ok oh wise chicken gods, I really need some help &/or suggestions on the best way/ways to clean out the shavings inside our coop. Usually I just get our rake & shovel & put them in a huge garbage bags (like raking leaves...) & then put it in our dumpster, but that is really time consuming & I get NASTY. lol... That method was working for a while, but now we have 14 chickens & they make a mess on the inside. Please any suggestions would be appreciated!

I use an old snow shovel and scoop into a wheelbarrow then off to the compost heap. If I had to bag it, I would probably use the shop vac. Hope you get some good ideas.

I just shovel it into a wheel barrel and dump it out back, once I have a large pile I burn it and the birds love dustbathing in the ashes.
