Check out my fixing-a-muddy-run page (link in .sig below), which despite the title actually deals in significant part with your situation (=*preventing* mud)

Good luck, have fun,

Good information in the article! We had one nasty storm last night and only one spot that shows signs of water...good news..I will take out most of the dirt and put in good ole sand..love that idea for it looks nasty with the clay and rock we have here. The gals will be limited to the pen because i am in a subdivision unless of course they get away on me. That will probably be another post looking for help on getting chickens back into a coup. I must add that i was raised as a city girl and totally out of character for me to have hens. Even the contractor was taking bets on how long I can do it. I did not tell him about this forum and all the help I can get thanks to you all.

Still haven't figured out how to post the picture but it is uploaded at least that is what the screen says.
