poop board question

[Quickster]

I'm going to build a poop board tray with sweet PDZ in it but I'm stuck because I'm not sure how wide I need to make this thing.

I made mine 1 foot wide then split a 2x4 and stood them up on edge for the sides. Then lined it with linoleum. So width of space for PDZ is 10 1/2 inches.

And that catches all of the roost poop?

As long as they face the right way!

That's what I'm worried about. So should I do 2 feet so it doesn't matter which way they face? Or is that overkill?

Mine is 2 feet wide and it's plenty wide. No matter witch way they face.

Nest boxes
In my nest boxes I fold a feed bag to fit (nest boxes are 1 ft³). When a bag gets soiled; fold a new one; pop out the soiled; pop in the new. Feed bags are a nylon mesh bag frozen poop just peels off in below freezing temperatures and just flakes off in summer when left out in the sun to bake and dry.



POOP BOARDS are the "BEST" addition yet. Handles well over ½ of the poop in my set up keeps ammonia smell in check 3½" below roost excellent for catching eggs laid through the night (roost are in cups for easier removal and cleaning). I recently friction fit a piece of vinyl flooring over my poop board.it makes clean up even easier; Pop out; Scrap; Hose; Pop in.

Winter months even easier flex over compost bin DONE!

Easy peasy!.
