suggestions for flooring in coop and run

[Kelson]

We have a converted 8x8 shed with dirt flooring, the run is 8×12. We had 4days of rain and now the run is a mess. Thankfully the coop actually stayed dry except for a tiny leak in the roof in one place that we will patch. Trying to decide the cheapest but most effective stuff I can put down on the floor in both the run and the coop. Currently in the coop we have dried leaves and grass clippings.

Ive read sand is the best. Not sure if that's the cheapest route though.

Sand is awesome and very inexpensive. I bought sharp sand and it works really well for me. I live in Michigan and it has been raining quite often, the sand dries much quicker than the dirt. It's also very easy to keep clean with a litter scooper. It takes me about 10-15 min every two weeks to keep everything clean.
