Welcome ! This is a great web site and you will learn so much! Having a poop board and using PDZ with DE is the best way to keep the roost area clean and the run dry. Keep us posted on your coop, we love photos here on BYC!

Hi everyone, I'm one of Spoiled Chicken's (Trish's) earliest PDZ converts from this thread. Her use of PDZ on the poop board has really taken off, and helped so many (myself included) that I scooted over to her profile and gave her an "ovation". This is exactly why the powers that be at BYC created them...so acknowledge great idea's etc.
Just wanted to share, in case you wanted to do the same.
Here's the link to the Ovations, and how to do it: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/699980/announcing-the-new-byc-reputation-system-ovations
Nono,
I nominated her for a educator recognition since her PDZ has helped me so much. I'll go give her an ovation as well! Thanks!
1. should work fine with silkies, mine LF dust-bath in theirs.(silly birds) 2. I tried narrower width and had poop on the edges, DH made adjustments. 3. read the website about the product, they recommend it a a soil amendment, among other things.Thank You, Trish, for this awesome information~
I read the first 20 or so pages awhile ago, but don't remember the answer to the following. Can anyone help me, please?
1. Does this work in some manner for silkies who like to pile in a corner? ... Maybe make a bed of this?
2. Has anyone tried 18" or 20" for the width of the shelf under the perch for LF? I have std to smaller sized LF.
3. Does PDZ stand up to being outside, i.e. mixed in with woodchips in the run?
Thanks so much!!
