I have had it with the mud! It's so bad that I have almost fallen. There are puddles too! I have tried straw, sand and cedar toe. The cedar helps until it gets mixed in with the mud. What about pea gravel? Would that hurt their feet? I could put cedar toe over it. My poor little white cochin roo is permanently brown on the bottom. The duck poop is mixing with the mud and it smells so bad! I hate winter!

Mine is so muddy as well, it was raining today on top of it. I had standing puddles everywhere. I sure wish I had a couple of truck loads of woodchips right now. I will be so glad when it is spring again.
 
I finally gave in and put a 20x10 tarp over a portion of the run. It looks horrible but it keeps the mud down and let's me keep the feeders outside. I can't wait to start construction on my new covered run in the spring!
