2 parts poop to 1 part bedding materials. That is way too much waste to bedding!
2 to 3 parts bedding material to 1 part waste is more ideal. I used to use a small two section yard outside the coop. Plant any kind of grass seed, wheat oats whatever. Keep birds off that half. Until the grass sprouts. Then turn the chickens loose on it. They eagerly eat the tender sprouts! Then you just water in the waste into the grass.
