Hi,
For a while now we've been having sanitation issues with our outdoor enclosed run, especially in the Indiana summer rain. The run has zero plant life (all eaten, but that's to be expected) and is just a dirt slab covered in chicken crap. When it rains, it turns incredibly muddy and our hens run around in it, getting dirty. On top of that, it stinks to high heaven all the time.
So here's my question. Does anyone know of any outdoor bedding materials that aren't sand that can be used to maintain cleanliness and control the smell?
Any help is appreciated.
