I'm in the design phase of our coop (hopefully to be built later this winter). I've read about poop boards placed underneath the roost so you can scrape the majority of the waste out each morning (and/or using a shallow tray with DE/sand in it). Instead of making the top of the nesting boxes sloped could I make it flat, cover it with vinyl, put a roost over it, and use it as a poop board? Or am I missing something?
I have a bunch of other questions, but I'll separate them out into different threads....
