Sorry...DLM question!

We can go many months without rain here sometimes, so I occasionally do need to spray it down to add a bit of moisture for composting to actually happen.

Yes, it is an earth floor. The covered roosting area is about 5'x5' and the whole interior ground area is about 8'x11'. This coop has only been finished a short while so I have yet to clean it out and I suppose time will tell. I used the same method in a very small run for just a few chickens and raising these chicks previously which I never needed to clean out, so I just added that litter into the new coop litter. The layers started (from bottom up) as dirt floor with a bit of growth, compost pile complete with grubs, old run deep litter, old coop aspen shavings with poop, piles of leaves (pear, guava, avocado, citrus, and bamboo), and topped with pine needles. The chicks mixed it all in no time going after those grubs. They didn't eat much feed that day!

Your pic made the coop look very small. Good job.
