She said/He said Who's right? Who's wrong? No one!

My run is 12 (or 14, can't remember) x 6 ft. I do a full cleaning of the coop once a month because my silkies do NOT roost. They just sleep in a giant fuzz ball pile in one corner of the coop. So I try to keep it cleaner since they are sleeping right on it. I'll add some straw, shift out some poop every other week.
If you can, I'd love to see some pictures of your run.


This one is 12x8. I started off with about 4 inches of leaves, when those got composted down I added course pine shavings. I have used about a 3rd of a bale of hay for nest boxes, 1 very large coop and 1 run. The other big run still has plenty of leaves. The other coop has pine. I haven't needed to clean out anything yet just under the roost about once a month in one coop. I add a small amount of de. It all stays dry and no bugs not even flies and I am in south ms. I give the m scratch 3 times a week so they turn and aerate the litter.

Here you go. I give them scratch 3 times a week so they aerate and fluff up the litter. I also sprinkle de, I have no smell and no flies and I am in south mississipi in the woods.I also add pine straw any material with carbon. It will compost in the run ready for planting I will put it in my compost area to let it finish.
