I’m a beginner/self teaching dont be harsh. I’ve done quite a bit of reading about how to help my chicken run be less muddy in the spring and I didn’t find the best information. There were great tips but no help that went in depth. My problem is that my run gets very muddy and hasn’t drained properly (because I didn’t do it correctly for the first year) so it’s very tall deep mud. I threw some straw out today to clean their feet. I need to clean all of it out and get it to the bottom layer of clean dirt to start over. I have a few questions about this..
Should the run be covered? It has been partially covered the entire year and that didn’t help at all. I just removed it because the tarp was torn after a year.
Will straw alone do what I need as far as drainage and year round living? If not, what’s recommended.
what is the best way to get all of that mud out of there? I don’t compost or have woods near me
(That red coop inside the run is where I’m going to put the new chicks to introduce them then it’s coming out. The shed is the adult coop)
