Switched out sand in the run to give deep litter a shot. I live in the PNW and it’s been super rainy this year, so I have shower curtains lining the run with just some spots clear for ventilation. (I do keep the run open all day on nice days too.)
My concern is that with a small flock (6 hens who don’t stay in all day every day) that they won’t poop enough to keep the moisture balance right for deep litter to work. Should I be doing anything more for increased moisture?
