One of the first things I learned as a child is that shit stinks no matter

how many things you spray. :-) We don't have the money or time to spray the hen

house, we simply muck it out when it gets bad. Normally, if dry, things

aren't bad but in rainy summers it stinks.

You can also shovel it into a worm bin. Worm bins are being used

by local horse-raisers for horse poop! Just don't put the poop

in there after the horses are given worm medication ....

This has worked for me, my chicken's poop doesn't stink. Use liberal

amounts of cayene pepper in their feed. They won't taste it, they

don't have taste-buds, per se, and it will do lots to keep their guts

clean. Try it, you'll be amazed.
