Poop "Board" Question

[ampho]

just my two cents! I have six and they all roost up close to each other, generally, usually at least one actually stays on the sand! From the advice given on this board, keep your roost in the middle and low enough that they cant really "sand bathe" in the PDZ, and I used old plastic lunch trays I found on Ebay so if they get wet you could clean them, although with about 1 inch of PDZ there is very little moisture issue.

Yes, all perch together.

Per all of the good input here, today I removed my two 4' roost boards that were at 2' and 3' above the poop trays and replaced with just one 4' roost dead center on the tray width. This should mean they will all "hit" the target no matter which way they are facing.
Also, lowered roost to 1' above trays in the hope that they will not dust in the Sweet PDZ.

Ought this work better?

Here's a pic of the "new" roost set up. Commentary?

looks good, you may find one foot is still too high off the PDZ, we followed the advice given and kept it probably 6", which is too uncomfortable for them to squeeze under. They still kick some of the PDZ out but not too bad.

Yippeee!!! You moved the roost bar!! YAY!

And yes, I'd lower it just a bit more...less chance of the ladies thinking it's a sand box!!
