poop boards

[Kanekoded]

Makes sense and uses less consumables. I feel like the litter helps keep the humidity levels down which is the main reason I use it. I never tested with and without though...

I used to throw pine shavings in the trays but found that they clump around the poop and actually keep it wet longer. I clean the trays on a daily basis because I like to keep my coop very dry - dry is good, especially when you have temps that go negative.

We’ve been using the PDZ in the tray and I love it! This country-wide cold snap has given us temps hovering at zero on my hill. Sometimes their looser poo hits a low spot in the PDZ and freezes to the bottom, but it chips right off with a scraper. The low spots happen now and then cause the birds are stuck in their pen a lot with the high winds.















In the parts of coop not under the roosting bars, I have hemp and love that too but now I’m mixing the hemp with the PDZ in those areas. I’m really happy how well the poo board and PDZ are working out. I too collect it in a pail and when the pail is full I dump it on a compost pile.
