These are all the things I use the space under my poop boards for. But even these have their pros and cons. It can be hard to stoop down and reach these areas. Catching a chick involves crawling on my hands and knees. If I ever am able to replace these isolation/brooder areas with raised facilities somewhere else, then I am going to remove my poop boards. But for now, I need these spaces and they are in constant use.Some advantages to poop boards that people over look... you can put feeders, water, nesting boxes and brooders under them.... If the brooder is not in use its a great isolation box for new chickens....I have put nesting boxes under poop boards and that worked out great too.
