Run material help! Sand? Wood chips?

[Abby1116]

We are planning to use sand in the coop for ease of cleaning but I’m concerned that the girls will get bored in the run with just sand. Thoughts? Add a raised bed with something else for variety? Small composting pile/bin? We are planning to do at least one grazing box. We need something that will drain well and I would like it to be relatively easy to clean. Thanks in advance!!

I would go with the sand. It will give your chickens a great place to dust bathe. You could maybe separate one corner and put some dirt into it.
