pictures of droppings boards in short coops

Gunslingers coop interior has to be one of the tidiest, cleanest looking things I've ever seen outside a Martha Stewart magazine!

Has it been used yet???​

WOW gunslinger that is a really nice coop you have there. LOVE the idea of the dropping board too. Have to do that! I can make one that slides out right above the pop door

I'm going to tell hubby to get at that ASAP!

I will help him tho

Thanks for the idea guys. When we get it done I will post a picture of it.

Just finished it, almost... I still want to put down some linoleum for a flooring.

My chicks are due here on sept. 3rd. or 4th from MPC
I dont expect it will remain so tidy in a month or so.... Heh-Heh.

Thanks for the comments everyone!​

Nope, it's vinyl. It does kinda look like tile from the pic.

I like the vinyl, b/c it's easy to clean and it protects the wood. I use pine shavings on the floor & dropping board.

I think i would like to make mine with a slope that leads to a 2" wide hinged door to the outside, that way all you have to do is bang on the board, the poo rolls down. then go outside open the little door and you have all the poo right there ready to take to the compost pile. What do you think of that idea.

I use an old snow brush from the car to clean my coop -- a brush that is a little past its prime for snow removal. Works great! My dad, who grew up during the Depression and never throws anything away, suggested it.

good idea AL! I saw that in another post too - maybe that was you. I'm going to have to make a note of that because I forgot already. There's so much to remember!
