I'm trying to clean up my chicken's coop and run, because we've had so much rain it's basically a mud and poop run. The straw is soggy and stinky. Where would I find sand and how do you figure out the quantity needed? I live in Vermont.

I do not know about your Lowes but here they sell a 900+ lb bag for around $40. If they do not carry it or Home Depot then I would check with the redi-mix concrete plants----the ones that deliver cement in the cement trucks---they might sell you a big scoop. But how much you need? A bag usually does a 1/2 cubic foot that would be 6 inches tall x 12x12 wide. So if you wanted the sand to be 3" thick a bag would do 2 sqft. 2" thick/3sqft. Use general purpose/construction type sand----not the fine play sand.I'm trying to clean up my chicken's coop and run, because we've had so much rain it's basically a mud and poop run.
