Thought I'd share a photo of the dropping board and sweet pdz that I added to my new coop after reading everyone's suggestions here!
Sweet PDZ?

wow that is a nice coop! Do I see grass on the ground there? how do yo manage that with the sunlight blocked off?
on the floor of the coop is a product called Koop Clean by Lucerne! I love it! It is mixed small clippings of straw, hay and it has sweet PDZ in it! Call your feed store and see if they can order you a bag!

Thank you so much for the photo, they are so helpful to those of us just getting around to building ours.

Cool!
You really don't need the PDZ that deep....they tend to like to try to dust bathe in it if it's too deep. I keep mine less than a half an inch and it's plenty.
I would also suggest that you raise your roosts above the height of your nests boxes so they don't try to sleep in the nests.
Poop Deck filled with PDZ, DE and a smidge of sand. Love this!

Great advice! Thanks
I have used the sweet PDZ under the roosts for months and absolutely love it (just like everyone else).
One problem was the kitty litter scoop did NOT pick up the "tiny" pieces of poop, and regular kitchen strainers were too fine for the PDZ granules. I just bought the strainer below (designed for cleaning sand in reptile tanks) and it works perfectly, gets even the tiniest bits of poop out of the PDZ and the granules shake right through it and come out looking like new.
Thought I would share in case someone else was trying to find a strainer/scoop that would clean better than cat littler scoops, bought it on Amazon for $6. It is called the Zoo Med Repto Sand Litter Scoop

That one looks even better, it has a flat front, wish I had bought that one instead! The one I bought has a lip on front (probably for deeper sand).
