    Silicone mat on the bottom of coop for ease of cleaning?

I use dry bedding so I thin this could work with it. Any opinions on this as I haven't seen any other people doing...

    Sand as bedding???

    My mum is saying she’s seeing goose owners use sand as bedding but I’m not sure, what do you guys think?? She wants to switch to it because apparently it’s easier to clean but I didnt mind shovelling out their poop all the time 🤣
