Keeping ground dry in coop

[4 the Birds]

Thank you for the photo. Looks very nice. I am interested to see that your walk-way up to the 2nd level is very clean. Ours gets very muddy and full of chicken poop - is it odd that they would be pooping on the ramp??

Their feet appear to be fine and they seem very healthy. Have seen no limping when we let them free range.

Ah.... My ramps get poopy as well. This picture was taken right after I put them in the pen. If I took the picture a few days later then the reality of the chicken coop poop would be evident.

Chickens poop absolutely everywhere! The key is to have plenty of chips or sand or whatever to solidify the runny stuff.
