So this is my coop, and on the left is the actual "coop" the right half and under the coop is the run area. In the run I already used river sand..
...and I love it, it keeps things clean and dry with relative ease. But in the coop I am currently using pine shavings...
...and they are driving me nuts! I want to switch to using sand here as well, but I have to figure out some sort of base to go in the coop to hold and keep the sand. I was thinking something simple perhaps taking a large tarp and cutting it to fit, maybe going up 2-3 inches or so on each wall as well and tacking it in? Someone else suggested I buy laminate flooring and caulk the edges and seems so that it's air tight. I just think I would need some sort of "container" or "base" to support the sand, and maintain it. I am 100% certain I want to switch to using sand in the coop area, just wanting some suggestions or advice as to how to make the switch!
Thanks in advance.
