Hi all!!! We’re in the process of building our coop and run. Today I noticed water pooling up in a few spots after a good rain. We have clay soil so it doesn’t drain fast. Is it ok to use pallets covered with plywood in the run? I was thinking of placing 2 in front of the coop. Also I have an ABUNDANT source of pine needles and (this may sound weird) but it looks like mulch when i rake the needles up. Is it ok to use both of those in the run?? I’m ok with using other materials I was just wondering since it’s free and in my yard already
