Abstract
A chicken coop cleaning device that is used to sift through sand, sawdust, or coffee grounds inside of a chicken coop to collect waste. The chicken coop cleaning device comprises a head component that is configured in a rectangular shape with a scoop component at one end to resemble a barn rake. A handle is then secured to the opposite end of the scoop component for use. Further, the head component would have a plurality of tines that run parallel and ¼″ mesh wire running over the head component, covering the plurality of tines. The mesh wire allows the user to collect chicken waste, while the bedding material, such as sand, sawdust, or coffee grounds fall through the mesh wire and back into the chicken coop for reuse. Thus, the bedding material can be recycled for a longer period of time.
