So I have sand in my coop and then I put a layer of straw down because I was going to start the deep litter method now I'm beginning to change my mind and I'm thinking maybe I should put the poop boards back in because I have been reading about the dangers of straw. I also added three bales of straw into the coop around the perimeter on the inside. Please send me suggestions regarding winterizing the coop. Thank you. I do not have it insulated

I've been using straw for about idk 25yrs or so and had no problems
