My two girls have a 20x10 run/coop where they stay overnight and when I am not home. Otherwise I let them out around the yard and stream. Half of the run is grass, the other just dirt/ mud.
I have been cleaning it by hosing it down every day and raking in the poop. However, I have noticed this past week one of them has been making a coughing sound- I am wondering if raking it in is causing fungus to grow?
I am thinking of taking some of the sand/ small gravel from the stream and putting it on the muddy area- if I do this, how often should I change the sand/ gravel- Hose it down every day and change the sand every week or so?
Thanks
