I have pine bark nuggets on the ground and I love it because it doesn't show the poop, when they scratch the ground they move the nuggets and the poop goes underneath, while the surface stays pretty clean. I only changed the pine bark twice in one year (15 bags covered the whole area). The gravel on the other hand does show, but the hens spend most of their time on the pine bark. The rain does clean the gravel pretty good, and if it doesn't rain for more than 3 weeks then I hose it down ( it only takes me few minutes to do that).
