I don't have poop boards. The way my coop is made, b/c it's tall and skinny, the roosts are VERY high up and in the middle of the building--they are structural 2x4 beams that hold the building together.
Poop boards below them would mean that I couldn't walk around, and I need to be able to. So I just use a horse stall fork with hardware cloth zip-tied on top to sift out the bedding ("exploded" Equine Pine so it's got a kitty litter consistency) below the roosts every a.m. Takes about 20 seconds.
