Ok, I'm using a dog run for my chicken coop and run area. It has a concrete floor and a rabbit hutch inside off the ground for their nesting box area. There is always hay on the ground but it gets pretty soggy, messy & smelly when it rains since rain can enter the run area. I"m in Texas so rain can be far and few between but am wondering if you can use the deep litter method with hay and in an area that gets wet? Would just covering up the wet hay with more "fresh" hay rid the smell & wet mush? or is the deep litter method only for inside/rain protected coop areas?
