Night

If they are anything like chickens the grass won't be there for long. I use deep litter for my chickens. Hay, leaves anything dry they can break up.

Jinx!

That's what I was thinking. . don't want weeds to get out of control either though calls are little don't seem they could do as much damage as chickens.

Get one.


Now that's certainly a southern-specific problem.


I'd use deep litter, made by dumping leaves, sticks, and other such stuff into the run and letting it decompose. What size will the run be? Mine is about 30' x 20' and DL worked great. It really helps take care of the mess that ducks make.

Thinking 8×16 run with 8×8 building to nest in store supplies etc.
I thought deep litter method was inside coops? You can do that in the run also? I'd kinda like to do something decorative with sea gravel and flat rocks and such but I don't want it to be hard on their feet. Is that enough room for six or seven calls? I'll let them out still to play when I'm outside.

It would take too much to keep clean.

Nah, you can do it in the run too. Works quite nicely. You could do rocks, I suppose, but it'd be really high maintenance with the amount of poo the webbed cuties generate.

ETA: Yes, that's enough room.
