My chickens are on a cement blocks and sand footing, so I needed something that would catch the poopies and let the sand sift back onto the floor.
There was a post on here about using a litter pan scoop with hardware cloth on it to clean up the poop board in a coop, if I remember correctly. I used the concept and made a scooper using 1/4" hardware cloth, 3 pieces of wood, a handle and a pipe hanger. I can stand and use a broom to sweep the floor of the gazebo, the sand sifts back out and the other stuff goes into a bucket. works great and it's easy. Not sure where I should post this, so I put it here.
here is what it looks like:
