Whatever works! Our setup used to be like yours @Debbie292d but then we decided to do roosts+ poop trays bc we thought they would be easier to keep clean. Now I woulld say it's probably six of one, half a dozen of the other. In fact, sand leaks out of the back of the poop trays in spite of lots...

What I know for sure is, your roosts MUST be higher than your nests. Chickens will naturally roost on the highest perches available. If your nest boxes are the highest point, that is where they will roost, and you will have very poopy eggs.

:caf Hmm. Now I am going to have to go out and take pictures of my setup... how far above the nests are the poop trays? And how far above the trays are the roosts? I can't picture it in my head, lol. I shall return tomorrow.
