Badseed,
I tried to find my original post regarding my (then) new coop, but I can't find it. Jean529, my daughter, is right, I have a 1/4" wire floor and LOVE it! Yes, some droppings accumulate on the wire over time, but as the chickens walk on it and it dries, it slowly falls through the wire onto the landscaping fabric below. Because the floor is wire, the droppings dry quickly and have relatively little smell. My coop is 30" off the ground and underneath the walls covered with plywood, which prevents drafts from coming up. One side I have the plywood wall mounted with hinges so that I can unlock it and lift it up, making it easy to remove the soiled landscaping fabric below.

I'll post a couple pictures so you can see.... Let me know if you have any questions. I'd be glad to help if I can.
:) Glenda
