Slatted floor spacing
« on: September 02, 2011, 19:26 »
I have taken Casey's advice and am going to redesign the flooring of my coop with a slatted floor, afterall it is a work in progress.

Simple question really, I take it the poop tray remains underneath the slats. But what sort of spacing should there be between the slats be? I have trawled around but havent found and info from the web. I dont want to put them in and find they are to far apart that the chickens injure themselves or to close together so the poop doesnt fall through.  :unsure:

Thanks

Hi Red, I have an eglu go with slatted floor. The gaps are the same size of the rungs, so the can grip for roosting, but walk easily without breaking a leg.

Best wishes
