Battery lights so when I go to my coop in the dark I can see. It’s too far away from the house for electricity. A way to store water down there and keep it fresh bc it’s also too far to run a hose.

Get a small collapsible shovel like people keep in their cars for winter (think I might have gotten mine at the auto shop, or if not, from a big home improvement store). The shovel portion is like a foot wide and the handle collapses, so great for small spaces! And I use a small windshield scraper to clean the poop off perches and poop boards into itI can in fact be trusted with sharp objects, but we don't want to buy one I guess, the snow shovel doesn't fit in the coop, it is 4×8 (the coop) and the shovel can only get a few scoops in before I need the broom.
That’s a LOT of scoops, even if doing only half the bag until you can lift it.Hand truck to move bag to coop and a scoop to transfer most of feed into the can.
As I keep reading I wonder why no one, including me, thought of a regular rake. The kind with metal tines and a straight back.I do not☺ its fine though, I'm going to try and find little kid stuff to clean with, plus, there is a legend that my grandma has one in her garage somewhere....
BTW this thread isn't about pichforks, and why I can't get one, just wanted to hear what you guys wanted. Any pitchfork comments are funny and accepted though.

I wish the standard pens that come with chicken coops were made high enough for humans to walk into! The number of times I’ve walked into the frame!!! You’d think I’d learn but noWe all have something we wish was invented to make chicken keeping better, and I was wondering what yours were. I have to clean the shavings in my coop with a broom and a tub, sweeping out all the shavings. I then have to scrub the floor on my hands and knees, all because my family won't let me get a pitchfork! What are yours, I'm interested to find out!
Two thing.I don't think it does, the tried it one time in 2016! Haven't reported back since. And they only did it one time! I still want to try it, I'm going to be one of those strong women being discussed, and do it my self someday!
(Actually, I'm pretty strong physically, so I have had my fair share of fights.)
I have several. They look like light switches, but are their own light running on batteries. They have lots of different styles out. I have a dimming one in my coop.Battery lights so when I go to my coop in the dark I can see. It’s too far away from the house for electricity.
