Poop Catcher Part Two

Testing, testing,  so far, the one closest to the door is working, the back one the have knocked down twice so far.  I turned the eyebolts around yesterday and re-attached it.  I think they are knocking it down as they are getting on the roost.  I haven't checked it yet today.  If it works I think I'll use a thicker fabric for the next set.  But for now I just wanted cheap to see if it would work.  It seems to be working, here are shots of them.  If the sling catches it, then they won't be walking in it.  I'll just have to empty every couple of days.
This is the side by the big clean out door.

This is the side over the egg box openings.  So far so good.  Turning the eyebolts around helped.  Now to buy eyebolts for the other side and dowels.  I have the cheap spring rods from Family Dollar ($3) and they are stretched to max and are bending just looking at them.


I have Sassy inside still, don't remember if I told, I see I already did but will recap.  She has a wound on her neck and I think it was the big girls because of the missing feathers but I brought her in to let it heal.  I had her in for two days then let her back out for a day and it opened back up.  I was watching her and she was scratching it.  I brought her back in.  The chicken diaper does not work on her.  She just falls over or walks backwards.  I think she's enjoying the personal time she gets wandering the craft table in the evening and perching on my shoulder.  I'm going to check it again today after work and if it looks better let her back out with the other teens and see how she does.
Just for fun, I took this shot of one of my girls in the next box.
