    Poop boards....

    I saved money on mine by building it like a litter box. Raised sides and filled with all purpose sand, then sprinkle some pdz on top. It scoops so easily and nothing ever hits the boards themselves. It's my favorite feature in the coop! We actually added an extension on the coop this year so...
