I am in the Northern part of texas. Here’s a few pictures of my coop. The run is about 12 ft long and 5 feet wide. I have already insulated the inside part but the run is what i’m trying to figure out at the moment. What’s the best bedding for the run?
Cute coop!
We get similar (and often colder) temps where I am and I have family in Amarillo so I am familiar with the weather there.
The ground will be cold. There's no avoiding that unfortunately.
Many use coarse wood chips. Think of the pieces as like mulch but not dyed and bigger pieces.
Keeping things dry will go a long way in keeping them comfortable. If it's on the south side of the house it will get a lot of sunshine which is good and bad. It helps dry things but if clear plastic is added it gets really hot like a greenhouse.
Personally I would add wood chips and try to keep things dry.
