Poop board & roost ...

[jtbass2756]

So nice to have a clean coop....took time the last two days to use my sieve on my sand.............IT's SO PRETTY!!!!

NOW ISN'T THAT NICE LOOKING ?????

No its not new sand...the lighter part is PDZ..the rest is sand that's been in there for about 6 weeks... redid the poop catchers which I do about every other day anyway...they are in that far corner..

Upgraded the coop made a poop board with roost. It's been a few days and I have to put the girls up on the roost every night. They went up on their own in the older much smaller coop the new one has a ramp up to the poop board. The roost is about a foot above the board.
They have been huddling on the floor in a corner. After dark I put them up. Will they ever get it? They are about 15 weeks old.

They got it! Went up on their own!

This has really helped with my poop board questions. My coup is about 5x10 so I'm going to use a dog kennel pan under the roosts. The forum is so great!

That's always a good thing.....to see them catch on to what you know should be a natural instinct..!!

A newbies second dumb question of the day. I understand what you use it for but what is a "plastic boot tray?"

Those plastic trays you put by your door to set your wet and muddy boots on so you don't get the floor messy.

Thanks! Used to live in Alaska and always put them upside down on uprights. Never too old to learn something new. Can't believe I just said that!
