Hi!
I bought my coop, used, from CL. Just got 6 baby chicks today. We're using pine shavings inside the coop with some paper towels on top of the shavings in the nest "carrels" (they're not really boxes, more sections).
As you can see, the run is attached. There's not much grass under the run, it was just the shadiest spot in the yard away from neighbors!
Do I need to add grass pine shavings/clippings/leaves/etc into the run section? Cleaning it would be difficult as it's fairly heavy and moving it is not really an option.
Is it possible to do a deep litter in the coop itself? (It opens from the back, which you can't see.) Or am I relegated to weekly cleanings?
Were newbies, and my hubs isn't really into it, so my kiddo and I are kinda run in solo here!
Thanks!
