- Keep Your Coop Clean Without Hurting Your Back || Installing a Poop Deck in the Chicken Coop
We all make mistakes, especially when we try new things. But its an opportunity to learn, and make amendments! Installing this poop deck in my coop is one way I'm making homesteading doable for me, even with physical challenges, and you can too!
Check out my friend Adrienne over at Farmstead Smith! This is the video she did that inspired me to build our poop deck! • BEST ADDITION TO YOUR ... Tell her I sent you!

Oh yay! Did you get the poop deck idea from me?? I don't wanna make assumptions.
In any case, I am glad you're able to make it easier for yourself. That's my goal too. Making things easier, whether you want to do hard work or not, is more efficient. :)
Yes! I was so happy when I saw your video! It was the perfect solution for me!
@@13MoonsOverMayhem I love it!! Would it be okay with you if I linked my video in my comment? If no, I understand! ❤️❤️❤️
I LOVE that part of my coop so much!!
@@adriennesmith.artist I added the link to the description. :)
@@13MoonsOverMayhem perfection!! Thank you for sharing! I want to help as many people as I can with it. I’m so excited for you!!
Nice job! Looks like a great labor saver...and on any farm or honestead that's a HUGE win! 😊
Thanks! It has definitely helped save my back!
I think the biggest keys is finding ways that are the easiest for you to handle. Having a poop deck could be fun, everytime sone one cones over you can throw an eye patch on, give them a mop and bucket and yell "swab the poop deck, matey"
Lol! I'm going to have to find me an eye patch!
You're doing a great job! Keep up the hard work😊
Great advice, Lynette and I love the poop deck. I wish more people would take the initiative to learn and modify their plans when things don't seem to be working. You are such a great inspiration to me. Happy Yule!
Thank you! Happy Yule to you as well!
I enjoyed your video. Thanks for posting it!
This is my goal to be more friendly on my back when I can. I appreciate you taking the time to explain what worked for you.
It’s a game changer, for sure!
Nice job, it turned out great!
Thank you! I'm loving it so far, so much easier for me to clean it regularly.
Love this video! Tysm!
You're funny! "If you're not laying an egg, get out"!
Thats the best way I designed our shed/ coop using construction sand ,and poop board. So easy to clean I also use Sweet PDZ to help with the order. Good video!
Its really working well for me so far! Glad to hear its working for you, too.
@@13MoonsOverMayhem yes I did 7 videos on converting our shed to a coop I watched a lot of other Homesteading videos and came up with my own version. Works 👍
@@OurBackwoodsHomestead I found your playlist just now and cued it up to watch while Im baking tomorrow. :)
@@13MoonsOverMayhem very good thank you enjoy hope they help.
BRILLIANT!!
Thanks for watching!
That is a great solution!!
I did use stall dry in my coop also.
I just learned of it recently. I had heard of people using PDZ, but i couldnt find any in stock anywhere, and a worker said the Stall Dry should work just as well and should be safe for the birds.
We definitely regret reusing what was a quail pen that we turned into a chicken coop and learned the hard way that it is a pain to clean out 😂💩
Oh, dear! Maybe you can make some adjustments? We built ours from all scrap leftover from the coop build, except for the two roost bars. We had enough scrap for them, but they had been left outside and were sopping wet, so we bought two new 2 x 4's.
@@13MoonsOverMayhem I think instead of adjustments we are going to focus on building one big mobile coop this winter to replace the 2 smaller stationary 'houses' we used this year to get by. We will definitely use as much recycled material as possible too😄
Could you tell me your mixture for your coop
In the poop deck I use a mixture of all purpose sand and a product called Stall Dry. There's a couple different versions of stall dry, ideally, use the one meant for poultry. On the floor of the coop, and in the enclosed run, I use pine pellet horse bedding. It expands into a sawdust when it gets wet and is very absorbent. The coop floor doesnt need cleaned very often, since most of the droppings occur at night while they roost over the poop deck.
