I have one board that is 2' wide and spans two 8' walls of my coop (L-shape). I think I used three 25lb bags of PDZ and I desperately need to add 1-2 more bags because it wasn't totally full, but it's lasted since April.

If you sift the poop on the board only a small bit of whats on the poop sticks. I use 1/3 DE, 1/3 DMZ, 1/3 sand and haven't added any for months. You don't loose much (I use the granulated DMZ) It just coats the poop with a fine coating that sucks the moisture and ammonia out of it and leaves it dry. I got a plastic sifter at the Dollar Store that has the right size holes to let the DE, DMZ & Sand thru but leaves the poop in the sifter....then I just dump it in my manure pile. When I sprinkle it in the goose pen I just hit the goose poop lightly and then rake it up and add it to the manure pile (using a snow shovel as a dust pan.) Keeps the goose poop smell down. My poop board as about 18" wide by 6 ft long and 1.5 "deep.
Yo..that is getting a bit pricey. I think I will follow B's advice and mix it with sand and DE.I have one board that is 2' wide and spans two 8' walls of my coop (L-shape).

Full of questions. I should put them all in one post, but things keep coming to me. Where do you buy your DE?
