I did shavings for a couple of months while it was cold (cold being a relative term). I absolutely hated it. I put sand back in a couple of weeks ago, and it is so easy to scoop out the poop each morning after I let the girls out. 5 to 10 minutes and it is cleaned well. Granted, it is only a 4x4...

Your roosts with poop boards are what I envision having if I am able to move to a more rural area and have a larger coop. I would love to have more info on dimensions. How deep (total are the poop boards? How far from the wall are the roosts? How much clearance between roosts and poop...
