ABSTRACT:
This chicken coop litter removal apparatus that incorporates a frame under which a blade is pivotally mounted to extend outside the side of the frame to scrape along the walls of chicken coops. The blade is pivotally mounted to the frame held in its normal working position by tension. When the blade contacts an object such as a structural pole, it rotates relative to the frame backwards. A side bar is mounted to the frame to push the frame out slightly from the wall of the chicken coop as the blade passes the pole. When the blade passes the pole it returns to its original position because of the tension means but does not contact the wall because the frame was pushed slightly away from the wall by the side bar. The devise is mounted to a standard tractor using a type 3 trailer hitch and has two wheels one at each side rear so that it rolls easily.
