Would it be realistic to let them into the area (lawn and patio) the children use for playing and pick up the chicken poo before the children use it, or will there be too much/ will it be hard to spot?
I don't let the chickens into the garden area because of the amount of poo I already pick up after dogs. Im refusing to do chicken poo duty as well.
I like them in their own separate area because they can be out all day without being bothered by children\pets. I also don't have to think about getting them back in when I go out. They are quick and are good escape artists
When someone tells you nothing is impossible, tell them to go slam a revolving door
