My entire management system is also a work in progress as I've only had chickens for a little over a year. I recently switched over to shredded paper in the coop. My plan is to do a clean-out in early September before temperatures go below freezing for the winter. I will put the coop bedding into the run, water, and then cover with dried grass clippings and shredded leaves. Next September I hope to be able to do the same, but harvest some finished (ish) compost from the run first for the garden.I scatter it in the run for composting. The system is a work in progress, but I try to make my chickens do the composting work.
