I'm building a new run beside my coop. I originally used the plans for a tractor/coop from a Lowes circular, but modified it to make it a little cheaper, but soon realized that my girls need more room. I bought a green house frame kit that I'm using chicken wire for walls and reed fencing for a thatched roof effect ( like the Tiki-Coop some one posted before), it will have some perches at different levels plus some stumps for the girls to hang out on.
My question is, should I use cedar chips in the bottom, or leave it open to the bare ground?
My girls aren't allowed in tge yard since I have a cat and a dog, and lots of predator birds in tge area, so is it better for them to have grass and soil, or should I put down a layer of cedar?
Thanks in advance!
