Hoop coop bedding?

[R3bauer]

Sorry if this has been asked before. But currently I have my girls in a8×10 hoop coop/run. As off now they are on grass but I am wondering if bedding is the better way to go? If I were to go with bedding I would use the DLM. Any and all advice is welcome

I'm going to answer assuming you're asking about run bedding.
The grass is great for them, unfortunately it wont last unless you can move your coop. If that were the case i think that grass would be ideal. I like wood shavings for run bedding because of the rate that it composts and ease of shoveling. But any run bedding tends to keep the ground wet underneath. If you have a few acres of trees and a wood chipper you have basically unlimited bedding at hand.

They require some dry dirt so that they can bathe. Small sandbox with sand mixed with wood ashes works well to compensate for the bedding.

is your hoop coop movable?

If you can move it, just keep moving it so they always have grass.

If that is what you have then excellent. Only think to add is maybe a kitty litter box filled with sand for them to take a dust bath. Then perfection.
