Will my yard stink?

[MzBalance]

I have three hens born around the first of april...they free range all day and I've only cleaned up a mess or two when they get up on my deck or the front porch - and then I just sweep or spray off. Never a mess or smell. I wish I could say the same for our labs, though.
I noticed you have twins, too
I thought you were talking about the chickens getting a lot bigger..not the poop?!
joy joy - and we're still waiting for eggs here

If they are only 12 weeks or so, yeah they will get bigger, not much taller or longer in the body, but wider and heavier. Depending on the breed, LF hens weigh between 4-5 lbs normally, bantams half that. My hens on average fit into a cardboard cat carrier.
