When things get dirty or build up I clean it.
I have poop board positioned 3½ inches from the roost. The boards are covered with cushion floor friction fit nothing else poop cleans off easily.
I have 68 trips around the sun for decades I have been raising chickens
For years I have been lining my nest boxes with the folded empty nylon mesh feed bags.
Chickens poop in nest boxes get used to it.
When a bag gets soiled pop out the soiled and pop in another. Poop just peels off in below freezing temperatures and just flakes off when left out in the sun to bake and dry. It is the best method I have stumbled upon in my 67 trips around the sun.
Oh! Remove the excess string from the open end of the bag it can get tangled in your birds legs and wings.
I have gone with a wire 2" grid (wire the size of a pencil) over my coop floor. Similar to what is pictured below with 4"x4"x4" cubed blocks stationed under neath the grid on top of a tarp to form a drop pit it worked excellent all summer and I will clean the coop before winter sets in and things freeze solid. The grid even keeps you chickens feet cleaner which in turn keeps your eggs and nest boxes less soiled. I live in Canada and am subject to -40º temperatures.
Easy Peasy Japaneasy.
