You cannot train chiggs to do much that is outside their instinct. I've seen all kinds of setups to collect poop. People hang tarps under the roost and shake it off. Too much work for me. I have a dirt floor coop with a very thick layer of pine shavings on top. When it forms a crust, I muck it out with a rake and put it in a bin to cure. I keep it moist. I used to just put it on my regular compost but now it has a dedicated bin.
