    Wood chips in chicken run?

    Hi- hope this finds you well. Scooping the sand in my coop is giving me bad arm/shoulder pain. Did you remove sand before you put mulch/wood chips or leave it? Thanks!

    10 week old standard partridge cochin, was told hen when I got her but comb/wattles a lot bigger than the other one I got. Do I have a cockerel? Treated for vent gleet as a chick, I guess males can have too or maybe diagnosis was wrong, thanks.
