An attachment for use with litter removal machines such as are used in poultry houses. The attachment includes a blade that can be mounted on a litter removal machine to direct litter accumulated on poultry house floors near the walls into the path of the machine. The blade extends outwardly from one side of the machine at an angle between about 5 DEG to 85 DEG from the perpendicular in a direction away from the clean machine. Preferably, the blade is retractable such that when the cleaning machine is not being used to clean along the walls of a chicken house, the blade can be folded back along the side of the machine and locked into position then. The blade can have several elongated apertures for allowing the finer particles of litter to pass through the blade, while the caked and crusted litter is kept within the confines of the blade.
