I see what your saying. Maybe there is a way to attach it to the wall but have it removable? Like have it snap on, or even make it sort of like a shelf that just sits on its brackets?
That looks great!! My only concern is that if you put your poop board on the floor they will sleep in it. That link you posted about the poop hoards mentioned that. You would still have the floor space if you mounted it to the wall and would be able to make the front high enough so they couldn't...
I've heard the river stand is best because it's sharp/corse and dust free. The sharpness will keep the chickens feet clean but will grind the sand down into fine powder in 6mo to a year so wet it before changing it out. I'm in the PNW(WA) as well. I'm dreading the wet/dampness for when I build...

thats too funny that they jump! i cant wait to see the silly little things mine do.
i figured it wouldnt be an issue but i love to give them options. plus i think i might build one big enough for 8 even though im only allowed 4.

Got it! I thought she litterally sat on them.
