I use the wood shavings from the coop, and put them into the run. I change my coop bedding about once every month or two, so it doesn't get that dirty, though. I first put down Stall Dri then the shavings, and leave it on the run until it looks dirty, then rake it up and put it on the garden or compost pile. Of course, with all the rain we got this year, I got really behind on raking out the run. I finally went out there with a shovel on Friday and had to scrape off about a 2" layer of matted poop and shavings into the wheel barrow. It was a LOT of hard work and nasty. I think my garden is going to be really good next year, though
Wood chips might be a better idea.
