poopy/wet bedding is cleaned daily and then a full cleaning once a week, my ducks are my babies though so i don’t let them ever be in a dirty place
It's not a pleasant part of keeping chickens, but it's one we must all deal with regardless: poop. How often do you clean your coop out? Don't include pens in your answer, just your coop or coops. Do you find it easy or difficult to clean them out? What changes to your coop design or technique would you make to improve the process?

I do a deep cleaning with the change in seasons so 3-4 times a year. I have poop boards though that I scoop 2-3 times a week as it just takes 5 minutes.
What do you use to clean your poop boards with? A tool? Gloved hand? Thank you!!I clean out the coop once a year. Whether it needs it or not!
The poop boards are cleaned every morning. The floor of my coop gets very little poop in the bedding as the birds go out to the run as soon as they come off the roost and wait there for me to release them.
When winter really bears down, they will spend more time hunkered down in the bedding of the coop.View attachment 2583454
I'll be doing a cleaning next month. It'll get hit with a spray down of Elector PSP when I've emptied it and before I bed it down.
