Stainless steel commercial baking sheet pans for poop board

[Deucebland]

I was wondering if there was any reason stainless steel commercial size baking sheet pans wouldn’t work for a poop board? Do chickens have an aversion to something like that in their coop?

They might be so attracted to looking at themselves, they'll forget to poop! LOL

Put some biodegradable paper over them or pick up a roll of painter's paper (https://www.homedepot.com/p/TRIMACO-Easy-Mask-2-9-ft-x-140-ft-Builder-s-Paper-35140/202040749) over the tray

Poop won't stick to the stainless steel and when you through it out, it composts along with the poop
On the OTHER hand...don't know if the poop would stick to the SS tray anyway.

The trays would hold sweet PDZ well, and the poop dries out on that stuff. Scoop poop, add more PDZ as needed.

Would the tray be deep enough to hold a layer of pdz?

Should be fine.
How big are they W x L x H?
How do you pan on cleaning them?

Poop will stick to stn stl.
It's stainless, not stickless

They are 18x24, so plenty big. My biggest concern is if it’s an issue for the chickens.

My husband used the car oil drip pans for under the roosts. The kind with not a very deep lip. Just pulls them out and then dumps it out in the garden. It does need a bit of a scrap every once in awhile but he just fashioned a tool for that. You could even use a dedicated ice scraper or something similar. The girls didn't like the slickness of the metal at first but they just jump on the roosts and don't spend much time on the pans. Once they get dirtied up they lose the slick feeling anyway.

They may not like them at first...anything new, ya know.
But shouldn't be an issue unless you live in a very cold climate them metal can be not so good.

Thank you! This sounds like a similar set up. Glad to hear they don’t mind it.
