Hi, hope someone out there can give me some advice...
We got ourselves 4 chickens a few days ago and a coop/built in run, but we feel the run is just not big enough so want to build an extension onto the existing one, but it will be a baseless design and so it will be situated on "mud", so what do we put on top of the mud so that the chickens are happy, not smelly, i've read about the deep-littering method but is this suitable for outdoors? Will the run need a roof on it? Woodchips or sawdust? Will it get too wet? I could really do with some advice!! Thanks
