- #11
I am in Bozeman. Our run is dirt, well, it's compacted slightly wet dirt. We had 15 chickens and now I'm down to 11. It was starting to get stinky in the run even though the chickens can free range around the yard much of the time. We are somewhat urban, we have neighbors very close on both sides, and they had mentioned it was starting to waft over there too. I noticed some other urban chicken folks were using straw/hay in their runs, and the neighbors said the previous home owners here used hay in the run....so I thought it might help.
