How wide should my poop board be?

[ChickForLife]

I am building a 10x8 coop and I was wondering how wide my poop boards should be. I have 2 Light Brahmas if that changes anything?

I made mine 2 feet deep with slots cut in them to fit around the studs

I don't understand, deep?

I guess wide would be a better word to use lol

okay, I was thinking 2 feet, but with my light brahma, I wasn't sure?

Deep is the correct term, but can be confusing.
2' deep with roost centered 8" above board...works for me.
Only caveat is that the roosters tail rubs against the wall, which can mess up those feathers.

So my light brahma doesn't make a difference?

Nope, have had several Lt Brahma hens, they fit just fine.
I did add ramps for them tho, fat waddlers they a can be when grown.
