    Anyone use SAND in the run/coop

    Well I have had mine in the coop for about 2 months now. I clean almost daily, but I only have 4 chickens. I use a kittle litter scooper. I think you can replace it whenever you feel the need. I have a lot of property here so I just shovel it and throw in the back forty .
