Got sand for the run. Finally!

A couple hundred pounds over 2 tons of sand in the chicken run. I think we need another ton to complete it. So easy to clean now! Every time I go visit the chickens( which is A LOT, when the kids are at school) I clean it. My husband made me a chicken poop scooper and I love it! Never thought I'd enjoy scooping poop so much lol. Oh, and the flies are all gone!

Very nice coop and run!
I have GOT to get sand! I'm sure it would make a great difference in the winter time too.
Thanks for the info! And what an ingenious pooper scooper! It's actually cute!

Thank you! He sacrificed an old drill box for me. At least I think that's what it is.

Where can I find this sand? I've heard it called construction sand by 'the-chicken-chick.com", equestrian sand.....cant find either. I've heard not to use play sand, so I've been waiting to find out where can I get a truck load of this stuff so I can get rid of these flies that think they live in my chicken run! I live in Charleston, S.C. and I've researched construction websites and no one carries the sand I'm supposed to get. Right now I am using wood pellets, but the flies are still horrible. Any advice would be awesome!

I went to a local landscaping place. I asked for river sand and they told me that is just a natural sand. This sand I got has no dust so I'm extremely pleased with that. Sorry I couldn't help more. I will tell you that I paid 22 dollars a ton and got a little over three tons now, so a pretty good deal I think. Good luck in getting sand! It really has been wonderful so far.
