I'm with you CL :roll: i don't get the time i need sometimes :-? And i don;'t think i planed my coopes very well in the begining either. I've been looking at every ones pens when i go to their homes and see where i can better mine to make them more user friendly for me to clean out. CL yours are set out pretty good, i have drawn hubby a plan to renovate mine and segregate them for each of my bantam breeding trios so they can be cleaned and hosed out much easier.. :lol:

I have old tarps (or some old artifical grass I had left from the pool area) under my roosts so that I can just take the tarp out and shake it out over the paddock for fertiliser. This I can do in 5 mins so I don't count that when I clean out the coops but I have to admit it is the bulk of the poop in the pen.

When I clean mine out I remove all the old sawdust etc and put in all fresh new stuff after I have cleaned and disinfected.
