I had seen other replies saying they use wood chips but i feel that would be way too much work to replace.
The thing with wood chips in the run is that you don't have to replace them as often as other materials -- every 6 months to several years maybe depending on your climate, chicken density, and other circumstances because you're not replacing them due to being dirty but due to them having composted down as they react with the manure.
Different people have different views on doing chores. I personally think of that "Only 10 minutes" of daily cleaning many people talk about as a nightmare chore -- one of those neverending, never actually accomplished, have to do it no matter what you feel like, how bad the weather is, or what else is going on in your life horror chores.
My preference is to have one big job that I can schedule for favorable weather on a day off. As I said in the article I linked earlier, it took less than an hour and I was good for another 3 months. Raking up pine straw to add to the run takes an hour or so every couple weeks -- with a larger effort when the needles are falling and I have to clear the driveway anyway.^
When I move the chickens from this pen to the Chicken Palace I will enlist my sons for extra help and spend several hours spreading the litter on my garden area. Moving gorilla carts of wood chips in as they destroy the grass will be a 15 minute job once a week until it's well established then I'll have long periods where no maintenance will be required at all.
BUT, just like I find "Only 10 minutes a day" horrible to contemplate, others find that big, hour-long job a nightmare task and prefer the small daily chore. It's a matter of personal style and preference.
^I do most of the yardwork because DH is a landscape and maintenance guy at work so it's not fair to ask him to come home and do more mowing.
