Message:: [QUOTE="TheOLdGuy, post: 88160, member: 878"]Messilane, I agree wholeheartedly. SH1T STINKS. That's why everyone avoids stepping in it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" /> It's just my opinion it should not be left around so long, or accumulate to that depth because the space is overcrowded. Our chickens averaged about 30, maybe 40. They don't all drop an egg every day.They spent most of their time in the outside, open air pen. That's where they ate except when covered in snow. The nesting boxes were all inside. We also had, in the same shed, a good size raised cage with an albino rabbit in it. She was bred once or twice a year. Averaged 12 cuties every time. She then proceeded to cull them down to a manageable 7. Their poopies dropped through the wiring onto the floor. It was one of my chores to shovel that out. Good fertilizer. I really don't recall who cleaned out any chicken waste. Or even if anyone did. But it was NEVER a question of - change or clean your shoes before you come into the house, about 100 feet away. And I'll guarantee our porch, hall, etc. was never dirty or smelly. I'm certainly not calling you wrong. I'm just saying I can't see it hanging around enough to affect you or anyone else.[/QUOTE]
