. I just put sand in my very large coop last weekend and still feeling the pain! I laugh at my "city" friends who spend oodles of money going to the gym everyday! I get a FREE workout everyday in my backyard

HMMMMM I think I'm goin to move my chain link pens and do them in sand and my other 2 runs. I have a few other small coops with 3X6 runs but there small enough if they get too muddy i can just move them, Think the next pretty day me and the DH will be makin a trip to the rock quarry for some sand. Well when we get a truck goin, he wrecked his and hasn't got it fixed completely yet and my fuel injector pump (that he was driving) went out yesterday..ugh!!
 
Our coop and run are only a month old and I can't get over how 6 chickens completely eliminated every blade of grass and every evidence of roots in there. Glad to find the post because I was wondering what would be best to "fix" the situation with. We were debating sand or pine bark. I was wondering about the depth of the sand as well. And what kind of sand to ask the landscapers for exactly.

Oh, I will. The problem is that it's dark when I leave in the mornings & it's dark when I get home. So it will have to be this weekend before I can be out in the daylight! LOL

Oh and

LOL! I'm doing my run and coop today... I'm not laughing now!
 
Link above says to use construction sand, I used playground sand based on other byc recommendations. What is the current consensus?
