I've been slowly finishing up my new coop and had an idea on how to keep the poop tray clean. The two roost bars on my coop will go across the 4 foot width of the taller half of the coop. My thought was to mount a section of plywood under the roost bars, then cut slots through the walls on each side of the poop board. I'd mount a roll of construction paper on the east wall, feed it across the poop board and then out the slot on the west wall (the run-side of the coop). To clean the poop tray I'd just pull the dirtied construction paper through the slot on the run-side of the coop, cut it off and throw the crappy paper into the compost pile. I'd probably make a narrow trap door on the "out" side of the paper to give room for the poop piles.
Does this sound like a workable idea?
