I just used plastic zip ties to keep it in place.
Some more pictures here, but the above shows it overall.
This allowed the tray to be slid out any time it needed cleaning.
For the first week I put nothing in the tray and just cleaned it at the end of the week.. Then more waste, so I cleaned it every few days.. Then I ended up putting a light layer of pine shavings in the tray to keep the poop from sticking and cleaned it every other day.
They stayed in this till 5 weeks or so, then I had to move them out due to space.. But really, they were at the age to move to the coop anyway... Too bad it's not done..
Right now they spend the day in the coop and come in during the night into a huge rubbermaid container with a screen over it..
