I have six four week old chicks. Next week I am removing the poorly designed current roosts and adding 2 2x4 roosts, properly spaced, each four feet long, one higher than the other. I am planning to use a "poop tarp" probably attached with 4 hooks and grommets, slung under the roosts and about 6 inches past the lower roost. The upper and lower end of the tarp may have 1x1 attached for stiffening and handling of the tarp. I plan to unhook, remove and empty the tarp (and hose off) as needed. It needs to be an easy reach in to remove. I also suspect that I may just be able on some days to scrape the tarp out by just unhooking the bottom end. Search for "poop sling" or "poop tarp". The coop is smallish and I think this is best use of space and materials for me. The board would take up half the coop with the current design...
