Hello! I am new on here and need some advice on what to use in our coop floor. We just built the shed and are still in the midst of converting it for our ladies. My husband wants to put rocks down on the ground inside... Is this an acceptable option?

You have an earthen floor. I'd do Deep Litter Method (DLM). Just pile in a thick layer of pine shavings, dry leaves, whatever you have that's dry and just mix it daily to get it to compost. It will take a while to really kick off but it's a great way to manage the poop. But the idea is to have them poop into the coop litter, not a poop board. So you'd want to have open roosts.Hello!
