Welcome Franny. Because you are in Portland, I know you get your fair share of rain in the winter. We had an unusual amount of rain this year in South Carolina. I found chicken keeping challenging when it rained for consecutive days. I found pine pellets to keep the standing water and mud down pretty effectively.

Hi Tricia, that’s so funny you mention that, I was just watching a video yesterday on using pine pellets and then topping with playground bark as a really helpful way to combat the mud in chicken runs. To be honest it seems like a great option around our garden beds as well. Thanks for mentioning, and I love that it’s worked for you!

It’s a really inexpensive solution. 40 pounds for $7.50.
