No Sandy beaches for my girls

[Ohmyheart]

I like the idea getting the coop cleaned daily. It isn't required here as I am in a rural situation. But I really hate flies and keeping it clean really helps. We also occasionally get some pretty intense storms (sw Missouri-I put it in my profile-thanks) and I was hoping it would help keep things from staying muddy. I didn't realize it worked best in arid climates. We are definitely not dry. This morning we are at 78 degrees already with 80% humidity. I haven't seen our humidity below 55% in over two weeks and it has neen more like 75%plus. Hope I didn't make a mistake here .It sounded good .By the way I sprinkled in pine shavings in last night and they went right in.

I would still clean it daily since I have little ones and we are not allowed to free range.. Would be way too much poop for the littles. We are not arid here in central Arkansas. I have a covered run so it does dry out and saty fairly dry when it pours out. But the sand box for my pool 26x26 doesn't get muddy or stays wet long either. I take my pool down in Sept ish and not put it up again until april/may. It dries pretty fast too. I do know ppl in Florida who use sand too and they love it.
