Show me your poop boards!

[BReeder!]

My poop board has been working great. Nearly all the poop ends up on the board. The is reality a poop in the coop bedding. I just changed the pine shaving bedding in our coop because it been to break down from chickens walking, scratching, bathing, etc. And it wad causing a lot of extra dust. There was hardly any poop in the bedding at all though. I am very pleased with the way this had worked. 2 bags of pine shavings covers the floor nicely. I will likely bed to change it only in the spring and fall moving forward. There's no more adding bedding to cover old nasty stuff or replacing every other month.

I want to to see pictures of your poop boards! That's right, boards that catch poop under your roost. Pics and descriptions like measurements or comments on litter material (sand, shavings, clay litter, etc). I am looking for inspiration here.

Here’s a picture of my poop board. It is plywood with a layer of vinyl on top. I put two layers of newspaper on top of the vinyl before they go to bed and in the morning I just roll it up. The poop board is a year old and still looks pretty good. I keep my old newspapers underneath the vinyl sheet and that way it is there when I go to replace the newspapers in the evening. I have eight chickens and the width of the coop is 4 foot wide.

Now can we see a current pic, after it's been in use?

I took this picture this morning after 4 months of use. Since I clean it every day there isn't much change.

It's ironic that you placed your nests under the board. My hens keep laying under theirs. I have nesting boxes that I made raised off the ground so it would be easier to collect eggs. They were using them for a while, and then decided that laying eggs in the coop bedding under the poop board in the corner that is 4ft back (poop board is 4 ft wide). I might as well just make that their nesting area. Hoping to make it a brooding/hospital area by closing it off. Maybe then they'll lay in the nesting boxes again... probably not though. They'll lay under the nesting boxes I'm sure.
