Do you find that your drinkers/feeders stay clean from the poop above?
Yes - this design is set up to provide exactly that, a clean/protected space below the roosts that is kept free of falling poo. The only time anything gets in the feeder/waterer is if the girls get particularly excited about digging around in the deep litter bedding and kick it up high enough to get into them. Our poop board is 24 inches wide and the feeder and waterer are hung pretty much dead center in their respective positions so they are entirely under the tray at all points.
