Something you wish had been invented in chicken keeping.

Uggg... I totally agree, my legs are all cut up, it hurts.

We 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!

Removable coop floor! Like a huge slide-out tray for a floor! Then cleaning would be almost as easy as cleaning a bird cage! Just slide out the floor, spray it clean, and put it back! (Then again, I also often wonder why I don't figure up a system to just line the floor.
I swear, liners are a way to go! I used to use bedding in my brooder, and after a while, moisture and odor clung to the brooder even after cleaning. I started using liners at the bottom and putting bedding on top- the liner absorbs the moisture and there is no odor.

Cool, I'm Probobly not using a brooder again, having my blind hen take care of chickys is way easier, they do actually make coops like that, I have one as well as a walk in.

I want something to help my cranky cockerel in the mornings, he just sulks around the run making angry noises.

What about a brand new Chicken Mess Vacuum! It vacuums up the poop, shavings, and even hay! (Also chicks! ) It even has a setting that will sand the floors to remove sticky gunk. Also has no cord and is chargeable. Buy it now!
Jk, none exist. It would be cool to have one.

Wow. I just have a roo that attacks me if I don't cuddle him 3 times a day at minimum. Poor pullet.

I know, we were putting her to bed, when I noticed her head was soaked with blood, I wish I had a pic, you can kinda see it in this one, but it was clean and had time to heal.

Edit:she is the one not spazing out.
