Well I am no expert. My coop has been up a mere week. But I really suggest linoleum flooring. I think its much easier to clean. And you can always find some for free on craigslist or find a remnant at a flooring store. I was going to do linoleum poop boards. But didn't enough at the time...

All I have is the powder, for the chickens. I can't imagine using it for a litter box! I think the granules would be better, anyway! I might look into that soon.

Are you using the powder or the granules in the litterbox?

So the gals have been out in the coop for 3 nights now. Definitely see signs they are using the ladder more and starting to roost. More droppings on the poop board. I'm thinking of sneaking out there tonight with a flashlight to see exactly what is going on and who is using it! We also...

I love the added touch of the mirror!

They are just like children! LOL At least they aren't pointing their feathers at each other to blame.

AWESOME! I am saving this to show my husband. We are starting our coop in next few weeks and this, along with the orignal posters pics are GREAT.

WOW...that looks like the interior of a HOUSE. LOL Great job.

OH and forgot to add...we are getting an indoor kitten soon so the PDZ will be used for her litterbox as well.

I am just over the moon to have found this thread!!! I've read all 15 pages and not only so glad to read about the poop board/PDZ but gleaned some other great ideas!!! We got our new chicks, last Saturday. They are in brooder, in garage for now. I have been scouring the internet for coop...
