Sounds crowded...and ducks will make everything wetter(stinkier).Hi I’m located in southern Oregon and I converted a 10x10 dog run with a roof and a two formex snap lock chicken coops attached I want to find a run bedding that Keeps down smell easy to clean and inexpensive to do I don’t wanna use straw I don’t wanna use hey I’m thinking about doing sand so that I can scoop it out easier please give me your insight I would greatly appreciate it I also have two ducks and 10 chickens
Getting the wood chippings from a tree trimmer is how you get that in your yard.Unfortunately we don’t have composting littler like that in our yard
Safe as in non-toxic, provided no other ingredients.....
...but not the best substrate for a run.
Hard to 'clean' and with no composting action will become a stinky mess in short time.
Tell us more about your coop and run plans for chickens.
Lots to learn here... and many to help you along the way.
Oh, and....Welcome to BYC! @BeautifulB
