The Veemi Chicken Poop Scooper and Rake is a stainless steel adjustable-handle tool designed for chicken coop cleanup, with an integrated rake and a shovel head that screens debris through built-in gaps.
The handle adjusts to three lengths to suit different user heights and working positions inside or outside the coop. It also functions for cat litter, dog waste in gravel or mulch yards, and general livestock pen cleanup. This tool is sized and weighted for small-scale coop and pet waste work rather than heavy barn or large-animal stall cleaning.

Cleaning Sand Runs, Gravel Yards, and Bedded Coops Without Losing Clean Material
If your chicken run uses sand, gravel, or pellet bedding, the screening function on this tool is the feature that makes it worth considering over a standard scoop. The gaps in the shovel head let fine sand, small pebbles, and clean bedding particles fall through while retaining droppings and larger debris.
In a sand run, that means you are not constantly scooping out clean substrate along with the waste. The adjustable handle means you can set the length to work upright outside the run, then shorten it to work inside a low-clearance coop without switching tools.
The integrated rake teeth on the same head let you scratch through substrate to surface buried droppings before scooping, which makes deep cleaning faster than using a separate rake and scoop.
What to Expect from the Veemi Chicken Poop Scooper and Rake 2-in-1 in Real Use
The screening function generates consistent positive feedback from verified buyers. Users working in sand runs, gravel yards, and pellet bedding all report that the tool separates waste from clean substrate effectively, which reduces both cleanup time and material waste. The 1/8-inch rake tooth spacing is specifically noted as well matched to hardware cloth sizing, making it practical for runs where the ground material is similarly fine.
The adjustable handle is called out as a functional advantage for coop work, where ceiling height often requires a shorter tool than you would use outdoors. Verified buyers note the tool is lightweight and easy to assemble, with the metal construction providing durability that plastic alternatives lack.
One note from a verified buyer: the handle connection joint may eventually need welding after extended use. The tool functions without it, but reinforcing the joint extends service life if you use it daily.
For larger operations with multiple coops, the tool remains practical. At least one verified buyer uses it across six coops and runs with pellet bedding, with good results on sifting efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size head should you choose, the 10-inch or the 12-inch?
The 10-inch head is more maneuverable in tight spaces, making it a better fit for small coops, cat litter boxes, and spot cleaning in confined areas. The 12-inch head covers more ground per scoop, which speeds up cleanup in larger runs or open outdoor spaces.
If your primary use is inside a standard backyard chicken coop, the 10-inch is easier to handle in corners and along walls. If you are cleaning a larger open sand or gravel run, the 12-inch reduces the number of passes needed. Both sizes use the same handle and screening design.
How does the threaded handle adjustment work, and can you use it at any length between the three settings?
The handle connects through a threaded mechanism that locks at three preset positions: 35 inches, 47 inches, and 65 inches. These are fixed increments rather than a continuous slide adjustment, so you select the position that best matches your height and the task at hand.
The 35-inch setting suits work inside low-clearance coops or for users who prefer a shorter tool. The 65-inch setting allows upright working posture for outdoor runs and reduces the need to bend. The threaded connection secures the handle firmly at whichever setting you choose.
Is this tool suitable for use in a run with hardware cloth or a mesh floor?
Yes. The rake teeth are spaced at approximately 1/8 inch, which aligns closely with standard hardware cloth mesh sizing. This means the rake can work against or near a mesh floor without the tines catching in the openings, and the screening function retains debris larger than the mesh while fine particles pass through.
For runs with a hardware cloth base over dirt or sand, the tool cleans effectively without snagging or bending the mesh during normal use.
