In the Brooder
I have tried this with tree mulch and they scratched at all day and although they loved it, they could only enjoy it for one day because they kicked all of it out of the coop and made a big mess and created a mud pile at the bottom of the coop and then the rain came and washed it down out of the coop and made an even bigger mess. So my goal is to somehow level it so when they kick it wont slide as much. I'm am just curious if it is possible to add a concrete block or wood foundation under a run that has already been built.Maybe you just need to regrade and improve the soil. Improvements will also help prevent runoff because the soil will naturally absorb more water. You can use leaves from the trees, grass clippings, etc. Your flock will love it and turn it over for you too.
