I agree with the vinyl on the floor. In addition to being much easier to clean (whether one uses shavings or other bedding material), it also protects the wood from potential rot. I cut a piece to fit my coop but didn't nail it down and then was unhappy with the sides curling, so took it out. Now wish I would have left it in, as it will take a hot spell to thoroughly dry out the plywood floor sufficiently enough to lay more vinyl. I think this time I will use stick-em vinyl so I can get a better fit. My thought is to post a 'looking for' ad on my local buy-sell site to try to pick up random extras folks may have laying around.
