Does anyone have poop boards in a very small coop?

Thanks Pat, and everyone else too for all your ideas! This is the best forum, I'm not sure what my coop would be if it wasn't for all of you at BYC

what should a poop board be made of?

anything will work, I think. I first saw the concept described as a "poop hammock" which I thought was very clever but required sewing... and then discovered the "poop board" which is much simpler, I think. My first one was plywood which was very heavy and I wanted to be able to remove mine, so then my husband brought home this very thin board. I think as long as it's easy to sweep/scrape the droppings off, that's all that matters. I painted mine and then sprinkled it with bedding so things just slide right off. If they keep roosting right by my front door, I won't even have to remove my board ever, it's all close enough to reach so far!

If you search for "poop board" or "droppings board" you'll find lots of great ideas. Some of them even have removable trays (baking trays, boot trays, etc.) on top of them.
