I've been using contact paper on my coop floor because even with my wood treated with poly, the poop sticks like it's made with cement.
This works well, but I need to change out the contact paper every few weeks when it just falls apart.
I'm thinking of using car mats under the perch. Have any of you tried this?
<added later> I just found this and it looks *great*: https://www.americanfloormats.com/smooth-marbleized-runner-mats/
Also, I'd like to put some lights in the coop that will help my girls find the perch when it is dark outside. I've noticed when they can't see the perch, they snuggle together in the nesting boxes or just outside the nesting boxes on the floor. (And they seem half-asleep the next day like they didn't sleep well.)
Should I go with motion detector lights? Is there something battery powered?
