I put 4" of sand over gravel in my coop over the summer and I didn't have to do anything with it. It was nice and dry and all the poop disappeard, it was fabulous. But we've gotten a lot of rain this winter and after a few weeks of rain I went out and the sand was all packed on top and it stunk, BAD! So I shoveled out what I could and fluffed it up mixing wet sand with dry and I've been doing that every week since. It helps but it still smells bad. The weather is getting a little bit drier and my chickens seem happy but I wonder if I should be doing more to keep it drier and cleaner? Do you remove and replace sand? If so how often. I can't imagine what a chore that would be!
Any advice/suggestions would be very appreciated!
