So I've been looking into using sand as a bedding in my coop and possibly my run. I've read that it's cleaner because it sort of acts like a cat's litter box and i can just scoop the poop of the top every day. I've also read that it's warmer in winter because liquid drains out of it faster. I admit i have a touch of OCD, i know i know, chickens may not be a good match for me but i got them and i love them so i need to deal with it. I haven't been able to stand seeing poop since i got my first pet lizard as an eleven year old. Now I'm older, but i have just lost all tolerance for it. I'm raking out the run daily and picking up poop in the coop daily but it takes forever and i can't get it all so it makes me anxious. I've read about keeping them on sand and the benefits but I've also read that it could cause crop problems so I'm undecided. If anybody thinks sand could be a problem then is there any other litter i can use to make cleaning easier. I know it's really stupid but i just can't stand it thinking about them walking on it all day. Please help
