concrete run, BBrrrr!

[ScoobyRoo]

I'm thinking I need to put something on the concrete so that it is not soooo cold. They free range most of the day so it's not like they are on it all day. Leaves be okay? I want to keep the straw for the coop, but if it will help I guess I can put that on the ground as well. My first year (winter) with chickens. Any suggestions?

I wish I could help... I just don;t know. Lots of folks throw leaves in their runs for the chooks to scratch around in, so I'd say that would be good

Any type of litter, leaves, pine shavings, hay, straw. How big is your coop? Do you have any pics?

How about for sand?

Should you put something over top of it, or, is it alright alone?

I put hay over top of my sand in the run

I swear the best thing for concrete is cover it with dirt, yes it soundscrazy but I have a concrete slap in my coop and I never used any litter or wood or anything but Dirt and they love it. and it is easier for clean up than what people think.
