@WhiteApe @brokeassredneck @Thickasabrick @HockeyDoxie >rake out the whole bed and chuck it in a bin and spread a fresh carpet of pine?
I only rake out the top layer that's crusted, and only a few times a year. I leave several inches at all times. All kinds of bugs grow in there and the chiggs love to dig and turn it over. Free protein! Flies are gross, but their larvae is more free chiggen feed. When it gets really smelly in there is when I do it. Probably go through 6 bales of pine shavings a year. I am not all fussy about keeping my coop clean though. The main thing is ventilation and not overcrowding. There is NO keeping anything clean around chiggens.

@WhiteApe @brokeassredneck @Thickasabrick @HockeyDoxie You cannot train chiggs to do much that is outside their instinct. I've seen all kinds of setups to collect poop. People hang tarps under the roost and shake it off. Too much work for me. I have a dirt floor coop with a very thick layer of pine shavings on top. When it forms a crust, I muck it out with a rake and put it in a bin to cure. I keep it moist. I used to just put it on my regular compost but now it has a dedicated bin.

@brokeassredneck @Thickasabrick @HockeyDoxie I've heard free range is better because of the variety in their diet, at least for compost, but I have no idea how you actually collect the manure. Maybe they can be trained to poop in a specific place to collect it?
