new to keeping chickens need help with flooring of coop

[FayeLK]

Hi This is the type of chicken coop I have. I have 3 chickens and currently it sits on pavers for the flooring but I am trying to work out if that is the right thing as its hard to keep clean. Also is that enough space for 3 chickens. They have strawing for their bedding and nest box. Anyway help or advice is appreciated as I am a newbie at this!

Thanks

I would personally run 1/2 inch hardware cloth across the flooring to keep out digging predators and put a layer of fine pea gravel over the hardward cloth. I think you will find it much easier to keep clean.

My Coop is a salvaged 4x8 metal shed insulated with Styrofoam covered with veneer from interior doors from Habitat From Humanity. Here are a few tips and a quick look at my set up.
My floor are planks with a layer of tin for rodent proofing. On top of the tin I have a piece of vinyl flooring cut one foot longer than the length and width of my coop (roughly). Six inches squares are cut out of the 4 corners of the vinyl flooring. This allows the friction fitted flooring to travel up the walls six inches around the perimeter of my 4x8 salvaged metal coop. Shovel out the heavy stuff into a wheel barrow. Pop out the vinyl flooring hose it off pop it back in.
Easy Peasy!

Nest boxes
In my nest boxes I fold a feed bag to fit (nest boxes are 1 ft³). When a bag gets soiled; fold a new one; pop out the soiled; pop in the new. Feed bags are a nylon mesh bag frozen poop just peels off in below freezing temperatures and just flakes off in summer when left out in the sun to bake and dry.




Easy peasy!.
