At last. New roost installed over poop board. Not completely convinced they are going to work right. May be to narrow. I have a feeling lower chicks might be pooped on. We will see I guess. Ladders will also be built to lead up to the roost. Got that idea off of my wife's Pinterest.
Everything in the up position. Will only be like this during deep cleaning.
This sucker is starting to look good to me, for sure its clean. Gotta get it really clean for the Black Jack coating.
Todays progress, both roost and poop boards completed. A front lip was added to poop boards that are hinged. Lip will fold down to help with completely cleaning the poop boards off. Poop boards were elevated as to not take up precious floor space.

Building poop boards, currently in the upward position. Ran out of hinges. Legs will fold in as well once done. Used a very smooth type plywood that I picked up at a Peddles Mall. $2.03 each. Not bad.
Ok, so after the roof blew off I moved the chicks and rabbits to the barn. I also unhooked everything. Even the water heater I had installed... Pipe busted, all 50 gallons or so leaked into the coop. Talk about luck! Lessons are being learned here...trust me.
New clean out I cut out underneath nesting boxes. One on each side now. PVC water line for right now goes right through the middle of it.
