I use a scoop shovel to clean it out periodically, and afterwards put pine shavings down. It is a chicken coop, so you can't keep it spot-less of course. The paint on the floor makes cleaning it easier. The nesting boxes are not attached, so I can move those out of the way when I clean as well...

Charles is my rooster, and my 10 hens are Opal, Tansy, Chrissy, Cherié, Matilda, Louise, Cassandra, Cindy, Sally and Stacy. All are very mixed breed.

I don't know if I will keep this as my second entry or not, but this is Cynthia, my spoiled girl. (She is also probably the most photogenic of all my hens.)

This is Charles, one of my young roosters, when he was a chick.

It is possible - but I had the nesting boxes closed so the hens would have not had access to the insects unless the insects crawled out. But yes, chickens LOVE bugs.
