Moving the coop

I'd like some advice on our cleaning routine.

Currently I'm cleaning out the run completely once a week using poultry shield, and then dusting while it's damp with diatom, especially under perch ends and in crevices and corners.

I poo pick every morning.

The run is grass, but it gets discusting, and they end up with poopy feet.  Last week half way through the week, when I put them to bed, I got my hubby to help me pull the run away and I brushed the grass down with a stiff brush, removing most of poo, and then hosed it down before putting run back for next day.

I thought if we moved the house along every four days, after I could just hose it off. My hubby says they are chickens and should be expected to have poopy feet! Am I being OTT?

How many birds and how much space?

mmmm have searched and no sorry. shall i see if i can doube wrapp them on the hens. It might work. BUT......... .........then we would still have pooh on our feet! lol

just bag it and compost it. It will be wicked for next years compost

I wouldn't put them on there if it was wet. 

I poo pick my lawn daily but I do only have two chicks now. In the dry weather the sun makes the job easier    I would move the coop to fresh grass when you can and leave that patch to recover once you've cleaned all the muck off it. I like to pick up the muck and compost it rather than spraying it away. I then mow it and it greens up beautifully    Having an Eglu makes moving house so much easier.

I use Hemcore or Aubiose in the run and in the nesting box which helps keep things clean. I hate to see muck on their feet too. In wet weather the stuff is a boon as they wipe their feet before they go indoors
