My vacation is almost over and I'm happy to report that I have finished all the chores I had wanted to accomplish. Chicken diaper trials, poop catchers, yep, poop catchers. Or poop slings, I found it on a site and decided to give it a try. For now I have cheap material in use for a test, they are installed. My coop has an opening on one side, the egg boxes are on the other side. When they walk through they walk directly through where they poop at night. The poop catchers should make clean up easier, just take out and dump and rinse and put back. Testing, testing, as I said. The original ones I saw had small side pieces but for now mine don't have them. I started with cheap spring rods which are exactly that cheap, when extended all the way out they bend. The ones closest to the door are the spring rods and the one in the back over the next box openings are on dowels and on open eye hooks.
I also finished the name signs with chains and got them hung up on the outside of the run addition where the teens are staying for now. Below is the view of the poop catchers from the window and through the clean out door is last.
