    Mud, Mud, and more Mud!!! HELP!?!?!?

    well, this is what I've got going so far... the only part missing from the 2 pens on the far end are doors on the houses, doors/wire on the fronts of the pens and some roofing. it's wired on top to keep critters out but not to keep rain out of the roosting area. the end result will be a...

    Mud, Mud, and more Mud!!! HELP!?!?!?

    and I've talked myself into doing a grassy area too. shouldn't be difficult if I raise the wire off the ground by 4" or so, all they can do is eat the parts growing thru.

    Mud, Mud, and more Mud!!! HELP!?!?!?

    ok enough editing that post. LOL. I think my idea of building up one side to level it a bit more will work well for me, and any heavily traveled areas (human foot travel) will end up with the paving stones, while the pens will have a deep mulch of hay/shavings to build on.

    Mud, Mud, and more Mud!!! HELP!?!?!?

    the area's where my big hoop coop was... if you remember that one? uphill of the baby pens and downhill of the mfc pen. and the old satellite dish too. we're going to cut back some of the trees to make room. i'm thinking a short wall will help level it some, as it's only about a 3-4" drop...

    Mud, Mud, and more Mud!!! HELP!?!?!?

    thanks... that's what I've been doing, but in some of the pens it kinda builds up fast, you know? so I was hoping to find a 'quick and easy' solution. yeah right. guess what i'm going to do is more of the same. I've got plenty of old hay available for next to nothing (2 year old round bales...

    Mud, Mud, and more Mud!!! HELP!?!?!?

    ROFL easier said than done. in that section, bedrock is about 10-15' down... go 20 feet the other side of my driveway, bedrock is above ground in places... to remove the clay and put in rock would probably cost me as the property itself when we bought it. i'd be better off (financially)...

    Mud, Mud, and more Mud!!! HELP!?!?!?

    I was wondering, would it help to lay down plastic sheeting to keep the sand from sinking into the clay? the last time I put sand down it became part of the clay/mud pretty quickly. yeah the plastic would hold the water up some, but the water would run out downhill while the sand would stay...

    Mud, Mud, and more Mud!!! HELP!?!?!?

    my property is fairly sloped (ie no flat places to build anything decent) yet even with all this slope and ability to drain, I am still inundated with MUD! any suggestions what might help? the ground here is mostly Virginia red clay, and when the sun hits it for a few hours it dries right...
