Poop Board and Roost Pictures Needed

[patandchickens]

If you go to my Personal Page, look at the pic of my sussexes (it's from a couple years ago), it shows my droppings board. Works well for me.

Thanks for all the photos and details. With these, DH now understands this detail requirement for the future coop.

This is my BIL's setup for his rabbits - a self-cleaning, moveable 12ft cage with 4 compartments:

The rabbit pellets and urine just roll down the sloped "V" into the bucket for the compost and garden, and once a week also gets hosed down. He never had rabbits before and came up with this - what a setup!
Chicken poo splats too much for this to work, doesn't it? Opinions? It would be awesome to have a self-cleaning poop board.

I built this shelf. Only problem is it's not wide enough, but it functions well and is easily removable for cleaning.

Here is our roost. Its hard to tell but the pans stick out about 6in on each side. The pans are from Home Depot/Lowes. They are for mixing concrete, etc. Real cheap and easy to clean. You cant put them in the other direction because they wont stick out far enough to catch the poo. I clean these every week or so and sprinkle with DE to help with the smell, my coop never stinks! The birds can roost in either direction and you dont have to worry. Hope this helps!!

Both are removable for cleaning, but neither will ever be this clean again.

There are pics of one of ours on this thread.

Some of these coops make me feel so embarassed about my little chicken slum!

A happy chicken cares not what it looks like. Only does it it work for her.

Are the Roost and or the Poop Board secured to the bracket/wall? or do they just set in the groove?
