i am planning on using a piece of blue tarp-it's plastic- when I make my hammock for the cooop.

This is what I was talking about for the chicks roost. We fixed it on a pivot system so I can pick up and tie it so it will be out of my way to clean under it. Am wondering WHAT I would hook the back one to and then the front one would hook to the front or close to the bottom steps. BUT then unless I add a longer chain to the back all the poop would be at the bottom which I don't guess would be sooo bad. Would be easier to get out I guess since it would fall down to the bottom huh? ;-)
What I worry about is one of them falling off the roost into the thing as big and wide as mine would have to be. I do have something I could put in there for them to climb up on to get out BUT it's pitch black in the coop and night and I am afraid they wouldn't be able to find it in the dark and also the board in there to climb out on, that might hurt them IF they did fall into the hammock. Since mine are only using the top TWO roost anyway I might just make it just for those two. ????? decisions, decisions.This is exactly how we made our roost as well. I love the idea of putting something under it that I can wash off into a bucket. I just can't figure out the mechanics. So I am interested in seeing if anyone figured out something creative.
Here's our (unfinished) roost. It is attached to heavy duty hinges and raises up to a hook that holds it up so we can clean underneath it:
