How big is your poop board? Just trying to determine how much I need to buy. Thanks!It's a fairly fine consistency and I use a kitty litter scoop together with a wide flexible grout spreader type tool with no problems.
I get the big bag (25lbs I think offhand) from the horse department as it is cheaper than the small one they sell for chickens
Definitely get the granular, it's much less dusty.
Thanks! Just got the last bag at Tractor Supply!Definitely get the granular, it's much less dusty.
I only put less than a quarter inch and sift it all daily, take 10 minutes, using a short handled hoe and a mesh organizer basket.
See links below.
Here's some posts about it, they're kind of old, but changes are noted.
...and the threads these posts are in has a ton of examples of poop boards.

glad to see you managed to get some!
Thanks for the reply!aart covered all your questions well
My poop board is 16.5' long by 20" deep and I do much like aart on a daily basis, it is so easy to do and much less backbreaking than searching around under the roosts in the shavings as I did before I had the poop boards lol!
