So I have had 5 chicks (8 weeks old now) outside in a 8 ft by 10 ft dirt run with the coop, and the last 2 days its been raining like crazy, and they are starting to smell. What can I use in the dirt run. They have the full 8 by 10 and can even go under the coop. I just got their fencing done for free ranging, so they are able to start going out during the day, but with all this rain it does have an odor. The coop doesn't smell, its the dirt run. I clean the coop out every week and replace with fresh new shavings. I did get some Oxine, but I need to learn how to mix it for cleaning, and I hope that will help. The coop isn't the problem, its the wet dirt in the run. I did try to rake it up to shovel up the poops, but that didn't work.
So what's the best thing to put down in the run to help with odor control. Thanks
