How did your vote go?

Thanks for the info and especially the pic, verthandi! So your birds don't step on the droppings board and track the poop around? It certainly would be easier WITHOUT the wire screen over it.... maybe keeping the roosts low over the board discourages them walking there?

Anyone else have any advice on droppings boards, droppings pits?

They do use the drop board to hop up or down from the roost, but most of the droppings are directly underneath the place that they roost. This leaves an edge that they can use that is fairly "poop" free.

Sometimes I used hay or shavings on the drop board, but if it is kept scraped off every day or so it really don't need any bedding. 12 full size polish share this roost.

I have this boxed in with plastic netting 1inch holes over the top (some of them walk on it) there is a board on the other side I take off when clean underneath

I have sprayed bleach and water over top when I clean out the bottom!

I have had sand, pine shaving & straw in bottom (each at different times)

I am waiting with everyone else!!!
