I have a small backyard coop. The covered run is 8x4. We are in the process of building an extended run but in the meantime I am tying to figure out how to maintain this run. 4 feet of it has the coop on top and is near impossible for me to access. It is sitting on top of grass which is now pretty much turned to dirt. I'm not sure how I should be maintaining it. In the 4x4 coop I have Sweet PDZ covering the entire floor as it makes it easy to daily clean. In the run I don't have anything besides the dirt. My two chickens are having a ball digging around in the dirt and I see very little poo in the run. Is it okay to leave it like this or should I have some other type of covering like sand or pine chips? And even if I did I'm not sure how I would get in there to clean regularly as it is such tight quarters. Maybe DLM would be best?? I'm sure I'm overthinking this....just don't want to make any newbie mistakes
