How often should you clean chickens and turkey's and how often
should you clean the living quarters ?
I was thinking everyday for the coops but dont know if this is too
much and weather it would stress the birds ?

I clean my chickens out weekly but sometimes more frequently in the
winter as they get messer :)

I poo-pick the house with a cat litter scoop daily. Each week I top
up the shavings by tipping the nest box shavings into the house and
louse-dust the nest box and fill it up with fresh shavings. Then I
clean the house out completely once a month, and louse-dust it
then. I sweep out the run, whenever it needs it (usually weekly,
sometimes less - depends how much i've been able to let them
free-range). I've found the same as Chicken+DuckMad - the house is
dirtier in winter. But then the run gets messier in summer...
