My 10 hens have been out in their 8 feet wide by 24 feet long run for a little over a month and it is starting to smell already and attract a lot of flies. The run is mainly dirt and is hard to scoop up their poop. I was wondering if I could put a large wood sand box in to help alleviate part of the problem. Would this be safe for them? What type of sand to use? Could they bathe in it and eat it? They are currently just getting mediated chick feed. Thanks
