My young teen children see their workload quadruple instantly if they try to half heartedly do anything.yeah. Young Teen child. Teen is generally responsible for turning bedding and cleaning out coop (teen uses half-face respirator with filters). I help when it is a big clean out/spray insecticide. But, if bedding only requires 1-2 wheelbarrow loads (we have a big wheelbarrow) to get it to the compost bin, there is a higher chance of good clean out. If teen child sees a mountain of poop laden shavings, teen will avoid the work and will be much less likely to turn bedding or to remove it all. We did this once...frozen litter, so added on top a few times...come spring it was an ordeal, teen fibbed about task, etc... Amazing what kids will try to pass off as “completed”. So, by having a manageable amount of shavings, means there is a greater likelihood of task being completed. We still don’t clean out the coop “frequently” but more than 2x per year.
