Coop space/poop board question

[Caity]

I'm not quite sure where to get it yet, but I would guess at a place like tractor supply or anywhere that sells horse supplies. An yes you just put it on the poop board, but it's like sand so your board will need a lip (so its like a tray).If you search "poop board" in the forums there are a lot of discussions about them with more info. I've never used one (yet!) so I'm hardly an expert!

thanks, I'm thinking I will have a poop board, I have the space and materials so what the heck, sounds like easier cleaning to !

So, completely crazy, but I was reading a 1918 poultry-keeping book (I know, I'm a total geek) and it recommended this exact layout for poopboard and nesting boxes. Here's a link to the free ebook on google books. http://books.google.com/books?id=_ipEAAAAYAAJ&dq=poultry piper&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q&f=false (p.15 talks about the poopboard).
