Exactly why I don't want chickens in my yard! They have their space, we have ours. My kids play in the yard... roll in the grass... we have picnics there... The thought of my yard being mined with chicken poop is horrifying. On the kids' toys... In their sandbox... Eeeeew!No way am I walking barefoot in an area chickens have access to. Have you seen what comes out of them? I'd rather get stung by a bee than clean chicken poo from between my toes.
