My sweet hubby made me poopy boards which are filled with a combo of Sweet PDZ and san. My coop floor is hemp but rarely do any of the poops land there since the poop boards are there. Daily I scoop the poop boards and about once a week replenish the sand. I hand scoop any stray poops in the hemp if there are any. I will probably empty out the whole thing, clean poop boards and coop late spring and again in late fall. I think I will be removing and scrubbing the poop boards every couple of months.It's not a pleasant part of keeping chickens, but it's one we must all deal with regardless: poop. How often do you clean your coop out? Don't include pens in your answer, just your coop or coops. Do you find it easy or difficult to clean them out? What changes to your coop design or technique would you make to improve the process?

My awesome hubby built me poopy boards that are filled with sand and sweet PDZ. The floor of my coop is hemp. This is a game changer because before the poopy boards I was scooping every bit of poop out of my coop daily and changing over and sanitizing the coop quarterly. Now it is so easy - I scoop (like a litter box) the poop and surrounding sand out of the poopy boards and either smooth over or add more of the sand. I pick up any rare stray poops on the hemp floor but those are few and far between. I am thinking I will do a big change-over and sanitization in late spring and late fall, and take out and scrub the poopy boards every month or soIt's not a pleasant part of keeping chickens, but it's one we must all deal with regardless: poop.

Why?and take out and scrub the poopy boards every month or so
Ditto Dat....for 9 years.Why?
Chickens cannot be kept in sanitary conditions. Just removing the nightly poop load and keeping the litter dry, relatively clean and as low in dust as you can is all the birds need in a well ventilated coop.
I've never once cleaned out the poop boards. I just scoop them daily, add more material when needed and that's it. They've been in use for nearly 3 years now.
