Ok so my run is getting muddy and stinky 
It is on a slight hill so sand would just run off if I put it in there. The spot stays wet (ever since we built a garage about 75 feet away...husband wanted garage..I wanted chickens..just wish I knew the water would be an issue in the coup before it was built) My chickens free range most of the time so their pen is for when we can't be home to let them out or if we are on vacation (I have 2 chickens who are afraid of strangers and won't go in at night for the pet sitter). Anyways...I will be on vacation for a week and they will need to stay in their pen. Its a muddy mess and I need to put something in there that will help soak up the water but help with the mud that won't run off through the chicken wire. Does anyone use leaves? The only other problem is that the outside run is only about 3 feet high and hard to get in and out of....it is temporary until I can fix it...phew if you can even understand all that....lol
