Thank you! I am temporarily putting my chickens on my paved back patio with a tarot for the bottom then the concrete sand. I have them now in a 10x26 ft run. Only issue is that it keeps getting flooded everytime it rains. I have the run completely covered all around and on the top but my backyard just has the water set there.Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I'm not a fan of using sand in any environment where it doesn't already compose the vast amount of the soil, like in FL. In other climates, it is difficult to sift completely clean and when it gets wet, it will stink to high heaven.
I prefer using dry organic material and letting the poop cold compost in it instead.
