We keep straw in our run so that the chickens don't tear the ground up too much, but last night we had an awful rain had to have been an inch or more. So this is the first time it's rained this bad since we had them in the coop! Its all muddy now, so I took the old straw out and left there be nothing more than a couple loose strands of straw on the ground. I'm hoping it dries out by tommmorow because we are leaving for the weekend, and I don't want my grandmother (petsitting) to have to put the straw in. I'm just hoping its not a squishy, slippery, muddy, smelly mess by tommorow
