spazzy, all of my coops except the horse trailer have raised bottoms with hardware cloth for a floor. poops fall thru and bugs do their thing. in the winter I put a good layer of hay on the floor with shavings on top of that. in the spring it all comes out easily. the hay/shavings dry out easily because of the air flow under the floor so the coop stays nice and dry. I have open vents year round up under the edges of the roof as well.
