Diatomaceous Earth - it's a powder made from a chalk - like sedimentary rock that when used in the run or coop helps break down the chicken poop and dries it out so mold doesn't grow.

A lot of people use sand in their run to keep it dryer and it's easier to clean than plain dirt.

Any special type of sand?? Or does it matter? We have a sand pit down the road where we can get it for free. Is that appropriate?
