I am very new to chicken keeping, as in I don't have them yet, I am getting 6 day old
chicks in the spring. I was wondering what urban/suburban people use inside their small
coops. I was planing on pine shavings with DE, but I absolutely MUST keep the smell to
a minimum so I don't get complaints. My coop will be a raised 4x6. I will try letting the chickens
have free run of my 4' fenced in back yard, but if I have to build a run I will use sand to help
with drainage cause it rains alot where I am. I just don't know what to use inside the coop itself,
I think sand may be to heavy for the raised floor. I seem to be more confused after reading this topic.
