Hey everyone so heres my situation:
My coop was built inside an old wood shed with doors and everything, except there is no floor. For years we have just had loose dirt in the coop but this year I desparetly want to change that so that cleaning is easyer and to also keep rodents out of the coop. My idea was to cement the floor and leave drainage trenches leading outside, but have it high enough that nothing can slip under the doors. If I do this, what should I use for litter? I need to be able to hose down the inside of the coop because it is about 7 feet tall, and gets very gross. So whatever I lay on the ground needs to be easily replaced. Right now, hay seems like the best option, ideas???
