Using straw to catch animal waste has been around as long as straw. But, it would better to push the straw out with a garden rake or long handled broom, then hose the dust it out with water. You should not breathe dried chicken feces dust. Breathing the dust created in dried chicken feces can cause histoplasmosis. Not to mention the risk to you if your chickens contract salmonella through their feed supply.
