Humble Shack Farm

I have two chicken coops that I want to try the deep litter method with over this winter. I'm mainly concerned with the large coop (40+ birds) and how often I would need to add fresh bedding and how expensive that might get. The chickens have an outdoor run and free range for half the day so they don't spend all day in the coop but they do regularly take naps inside the coop in the afternoons.
How often would I need to add fresh bedding? I can get pine shavings and sometimes straw for the bedding. Here's a picture of the inside of my coop.
