Could please be more specific? Just woodchips on the dirt?

What materials and hardware would I need. I can’t find any articles that are useful.

I need advice for the run, not the coop bedding. Can’t find any??

I have a large run 400 square feet, and 13 chickens. Over the hard winter I inadvertently created a giant compost by adding straw, laying scraps and the chicken activity. Now in spring, the whole run smells like a compost, and is soggy with a think crust you can walk on. I’ve tried to rake etc...
