To calculate the number of 5-gallon buckets of gravel in a cubic yard, we need to first determine the volume of a cubic yard. A cubic yard is equal to 27 cubic feet. Since there are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot, a cubic yard is equivalent to 201.96 gallons. Therefore, there are approximately 40.39 (201.96 divided by 5) 5-gallon buckets of gravel in a cubic yard.
To determine the number of 5-gallon buckets of sand in a yard, you need to know the volume of a yard in cubic feet and the volume of a 5-gallon bucket in cubic feet. One cubic yard is equivalent to 27 cubic feet, and a 5-gallon bucket holds approximately 0.67 cubic feet of material. Therefore, you would divide the volume of a yard by the volume of a bucket to find the number of buckets needed.

That's going to be heavily influenced by how many chickens, what you've been feeding them, and how long since the last time you raked it over.
A typical shovel holds about 1/2 cubic feet of soil. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard (commonly called a "yard"). Therefore, about 54 shovelfuls in a cubic yard.Note that the volume of a shovel will vary depending on its size and the stuff being shoveled. You can determine the volume of your shovel by experimenting with a 5-gallon pail (equal to about 5/8 of a cubic foot).
