I just thought soil would be the way to go I guess? Our chicken coop is on a concreate pad, so at the top we have pine shavings where they lay/sleep at night, but the open part of the coop is on a concreate pad and I would rather put something down. So you're saying I should crap the soil and get Washed River Sand? They don't spend much time in the coop anyway because of our garden (we also have a emu and 2 ducks) So they're out with them all day. We're in Idaho and it's been very hot, so I just bought a solar fan which is coming soon and wanted to put something down on top of the concreate so they can come in and cool off.Why soil at all?
People who use sand use it as if it were a sort of litter box -- where you have to scoop the poop regularly, even daily.
Where, in general, are you? The people who are happy with that system over the long term are almost always in a dry climate.
