Poop catcher DIY

I'm envisioning something like this placed on the coop floor, under the roost. View attachment 2324900

Hey, that’s what I used on my coop floor. Works great

That is exactly what it is and so far, so good! I cut it in half because it was too wide for my one roosting pole. It is the length of the roosting pole 8 ft.

Must live somewhere warm and dry.
Would also like to see it in place and how you access it for cleaning,
please, @colette04

my coop is 4 x 8 with a standard door at one end and a window at the other. My roosting post is 16 inches out on the right hand side and its 8 ft long. I just throw that clear runner, which i cut in half because i didnt need it to be that wide. I pull it out in the morning and spray it down and put it back at dusk.

Agreed...big difference between 3' and 7' poop board. My other concern would be that actually pulling it would also pull the pine chips, that are used on the coop floor, out (in my coop, at least.)

I lay it on top of my wood chips, its just a strip so theres plenty of area with buffers.

I am / we are, wanting to see how @colette04 has it setup under the roosting pole. Because pulling that 7 ft poop board out to scrap can be a balancing act sometimes at my house.

I will try to get some pictures tomorrow

It's easy to do, and then it's always there!

After wishing I had poop catching drawers built in , that I could pull out and scrape, I had to find a new remedy. My husband suggested a clear rug runner flipped over to the seamless side. I now place that under the roosting pole and pull it out and hose it down in the morning. It is light and easy to remove and it dries on the fence in minutes.
