I've been reading tons of threads about using sand in the coop and I think it's definitely something I'm interested in trying.
1. Is this the type of sand I need? http://www.homedepot.com/p/Quikrete-50-lb-All-Purpose-Sand-115251/100318450.
2. Of course I'll be sifting poop out every day but how often should I completely change it and put in new sand?
3. What do you do with the old sand?
4. I read that you can wash, dry and reuse the sand. How would I do that?
5. How does the sand work in a run? I'm worried they'll burn their feet in the summer and freeze their toes off during the winter.
Thanks!
