how about a scale with a infared sensor put the scale on the floor when the
chicken steps on it the sensor would register the wheight it may take a long
time to get 100 but put up several scales and so what if it takes 1 or more
days?
as far as waste piling up on the scale maybe have it tare out after every
wheight or have a sprinkler system to wash it .
