My poop tray gets a dusting of pine shavings from just being in the coop. I don't intentionally cover it.
I slide it out the side of the coop and just scrape it off with a stick. I never have any trouble. I do think that the dusting of shavings helps keep things from sticking a bit. Good luck!

I'm going to try the PDZ. Folks seem to love it. Do a search in the forums.

I take the old pine shavings from the nest boxes & put on the poop trays. Then just add fresh savings to the next boxes. It saves money and I like that.

I filled mine with Stall Dry and it works great! About a minute of scooping and it's fresh as new! I also went with sand on the floor with the top dusted with the Stall Dry also.

Roost above nest boxes; Roost all one level; Poop trays 3 1/2 inches from roost; Catches eggs; I like!

None of the above.... (sand would work best of the three listed IMHO)

Poop Trays are solid wood and scraped with a scraper and dust pan daily. DE and Python Dust is dusted on them occasionally to keep them dry and insects away.
