Do wear gloves?

 

Do you use special tools?

[Phosphorus]

Plastic gloves and a bucket I use a putty knife to s"Ooops, word censored!"e the roosting bars into the droppings tray as well.

[Katie]

I have an old spade which i flick poo away from the patio into the flower beds.. And the stuff on the grass I leave!

Once you have perfected the art of poo flicking it is quite an easy task

[Egluntyne]

Gloves and a bucket. here too.

[munchkin]

A cat litter scoop and bucket

[owenofj]

Incredibly inelegantly... move the run round about 90 degrees, then put one leg either side of the dead dead grass and shuffle forwards with gloves on and a few sheets of kitchen roll while mooning the neighbors.... they love it.

 

Terrifyingly vast amounts of poo come out of chickens.

[Gallina]

Trowel and a bucket, then I put it on the compost heap, where it is the best activator ever. My compost heap gets hotter than before and the compost is ready to use very quickly.

[Chickybaby]

I never bother to poo pick, it just seems to disappear! I do hose the patio down once a week though and the poo just gets hosed onto the grass.

[lisa33]

An old hand spade and a cut down milk carton.

[urbanchick]

I use a wallpaper s"Ooops, word censored!"er to flick it into an old dustpan.

[SharonX]

I use a hand garden tool and a plastic plate (the ones that go under plant pots) I then obsessively pick up every single bit I can find and tip it into a large plastic tub which then goes to the allotment. I do this about 2 to 3 times a day as I can not bare to see my garden in a mess. I couldn't not let them freerange all day so that's the price I pay.

[cliveb]

I use an old bucket and a trowel. Poo picking takes place about three times a week.

[Ange1]

Well I'm obsessed even before I've started this 'poo picking' lark.

 

I bought a hand trowel from the £1 shop yesterday, just 'cos it was a lovely pale pink colour and would tone with my lilac cube!

 

Boyfriend thinks I'm mad as we have 3 other old trowels in the shed, but I said 'yes but they wouldn't go with the cube!

 

And this is just to 'poo pick' I must be mad!

[hennymom]

Trowel and bucket here too... but a bucket with a screw on lid.... then given away for compost!! you can't beat a good trowel!! lol

Yes you must be - no-one else on here would ever colour co-ordinate their poo trowel

[Ange1]

Laura, do I detect a very coordinated 'set up' too?!!!

 

Hennymom, I can't imagine a bucket with a screw on lid explain please??

[Laura & CTB]

Laura, do I detect a very coordinated 'set up' too?!!!

 

 

NO

 

(from someone who painted her roosting bars blue to match her run)

[Egg Lou]

NO

 

(from someone who painted her roosting bars blue to match her run)

 

Hmm.. I have just painted mine in a lovely pistaschio green to match cube!

 

But on the poo picking line.. I use a cat litter scoop and bucket, then dig a hole one of the borders and bury it!

[Olly]

I don't poo-pick either ... occasionally sweep or hose the patio if there are some bad ones, but mostly when they're free-ranging they are on the lawn or flower beds. Inside the run ... well it sort of disappears, into the aubiose I guess.

 

I scoop the nestbox with a rubber glove on, and just bang the poo trays straight into the compost heap. I'm going to start digging out last year's compost, next week - can't wait.

[hennymom]

Hennymom, I can't imagine a bucket with a screw on lid explain please??

 

 

lol it's the shape of a dustbin, about knee high and has a screw on lid...

Oh I see!

 

Thanks!

[sheik]

Trowel and a bucket, then I put it on the compost heap

 

Exactly what we do for their run.

 

For the patio we have a long-handled dustpan thing that saves bending down.

 

And for runny poo - a jet hose!

[hennymom]

Oh I see!

 

Thanks!

 

you're welcome!!

[surferdog]

Gloves, cat litter scoop (pink of course!) and an old tub. It all goes straight in the compost heap. The lawn just gets hosed down.

[superjules]

I use gardening gloves, a broom, a garden sieve, a trowel and a tubtrug. My run has a sand floor so I sweep all the sand to one side of the run, put it through the sieve with the trowel, then chuck it into the tubtrug to take to the composter. Poo on the lawn gets blasted with the hose.
