Just wondered how you all cope with the rain and your coops?? Mine is half covered so they can get shelter (big run - cant free range

Thanks

Well, you can try adding large amounts of sand to help improve the drainage, but that can only do so much. If you have anough land, you can make two runs and alternate them, planting a fast-growing ground cover in the one you aren't using. When all else fails, some boards and low roosts placed around give the birds places to stand so they aren't in the mud.
