So my 5 chickens have a run that is 7'x30' with a dirt floor. Over the last year or so, most of the dirt flew away leaving mainly rocks. I've been asking my uncle and brother for the last couple months to help me find more rock free dirt to put in their run. My uncle finally brought me some, but its compost. I figured its ok, so we put it in the run today, but after we were done my dad said to be careful, that the compost can get hot an spontaneously combust, so now I'm nervous, and cant find anything about using compost as a substrate for chickens.
Any advice? I can add a picture of the run in the morning. Also, I'm in Northern California, the weather here is in the 80's during the day, with no rain in sight.
