We use bags of wood flakes, (fine) from Tractor supply for our coop. Then scoop it out as needed. They love making beds in it, playing in it and digging holes as well through it. So much easier.... We also have boards on ledges as well.What do you do with the poop you scoop from them? Ive looked through a bunch of threads and havent read it anywhere yet. Do you Throw it out in the yard? keep a pail and empty that when it gets full? Walk the scoop out to the grove and toss it?
i dont use poop boards but i do use the deep litter method. i have two turkeys (a tom and a hen) that roost in the same spot every night. you can imagine what the poop pile looks like after 12 hours of them sitting there. im going to start using a kitty litter scoop on their droppings just because it is so much and this time of year i can easily walk it out to the grove, but come winter time that wont be an option and i hate to think of spring thaw if i just toss it out in the yard every morning.
