First off, real men do not shop at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

Found a letter tray at Wamart for $5. Seems like it will be just the ticket.

So it's about 8x11...one side is open?
Might be bit big and hard to hang onto, but the mesh size looks good<thumbsup>

Sticking to my original statement: Real men do not shop at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

Yes, 8x11ish. Cheryl described it as "perfect". She can basically just make a pile and scoop it up, sift and repeat. I think the bottom line is the things that I gave her before were so inept at the task that any improvement is viewed as perfect.

We use one of those mesh paper trays and a wide putty knife to load it up.

I built a roosting table a few weeks ago but couldnt find the sweet pdz until yesterday. we had some pre-4th of july plans so i didnt get home until after dark to put it on the table.

I walked in and turn the light on and to my surprise no chickens were to be found on their roosting table.

I found all 6 girls roosting in the A frames above my head. I think they have other plans any suggestions?

I'm having a problem with the Sweet PDZ sifting process. I end up with a combination of speck size pooh and pdz. Is that what the rest of you get? I've been using a colander.

I'd guess that the easiest fix would be to put wire or netting on the bottom of those collar ties to discourage/prevent them from roosting up there.

Or nail a 2x4 to the side of the rafters to give them a wider surface to roost on.

Do you mean left in the poop board?

You need a pretty fine mesh, but some poop specks will end up back in the board.
I use less than a half inch of sand/PDZ and have to add every couple weeks as some gets kicked off board and sticks to poops, so it all gets fairly well refreshed IMO.
It's a balance.
