I have two of these coops easy to put together i took the front door off and fitted a automatic door opener which works wel leasy to clean out i use a yard broom then a small handbrush and tray then i pull the bottom out put the yard broom inside and swept the sidesas for the egg box it it doesnt take long to put your hand in to get the eggs i also clean it out by gently lifting one bit at a time and tip it into a bag give it a good brush and put back again with fresh sawdust take me an hour to throughly clean both coops in twenty years never had red mite love these coops very pleased excellent item took only one hour to assemble
