Ok so I have a coop and run. The run is obviously outside. The coop is bone dry with lots of wood chips. The hens lay there eggs inside the dry coop in there bone dry nest boxes. But every time I collect the eggs they are covered in mud. There is no droppings on the eggs just mud. I have spent lots of money on wood chips for the run but it is so wet and soggy here in WV that they just track the mud in on there feet. I am currently getting ready to build another coop to expand a bit.
My question is should I build the other run with a covering on top? Will this prevent the run from becoming muddy? Can someone give me some ideas?
