My husband and I are planning out our run. It's going to be 10x18 and only a portion will be covered, the rest will have a wired roof. My question is... the ground where this run is going is already torn up. There's no grass at all. Is it a better idea to put down a layer of small rocks then a thick layer of playground sand to keep this area from turning into a muddy mess? Will the chickens not like this area because there's nothing to scratch at? I plan on putting out meal worms and other treats throughout the day but will they get bored or will the sand keep them occupied?
Thanks!
