For those who own chickens that spend at least part of the day in a coop, try
tossing the shredded paper/ leaves/ small twigs under the perch. This will act
as a mat to absorb chicken droppings and can be more easily moved to the compost
pile. Yes, the birds will scatter it hunting for treats. Just rake it together
when time to clean the coop.


Not used paper but we do use sawdust and then transfer to the compost
bin. Waiting to see how (if?) that composts.
