    How to know if your deep litter method is working...

    Oh I hear ya! I have plans for mine too. But that would be a good way of dealing with it for someone who was maybe older and couldn't really handle the shoveling anymore and still wanted to keep chickens... Or someone who doesn't care to use it for anything. :D
