Hey guys! So last summer for my run it was just all dirt, the smell wasn't terrible but it definitely was there. Come fall/winter I ended up using straw on top of snow to help my chickens. Now that spring is here and summer is fast approaching, I was wondering if it would be okay to continue using straw, even in the middle of summer? I have heard horror stories of straw and hay spontaneously combusting and now I am worried. I know a lot of people use sand or mulch in their runs, but I just don't have that sort of option. I heard that the straw will just decompose fast so thats why some people use it, but I don't wanna use it if it can just catch fire with the heat and wind.
