So I live in the south of the UK and the weather has been near constant rain for what feels like months. I have 2 Eglu (one big, one small) coops which are great for keeping the birds dry and easy to clean. These are both housed in a 3m x 3m run with an overhead roof. The sides of the coop are open (hardwire cloth) which we have started to affix bamboo over the outside (like window blinds) to try and mitigate the rain blasting into the run. Slabs on the floor of the run as the original straw/mud ground became too wet and boggy and i wanted them to a place where they could be safe and dry.
The birds have access to my garden to free range all day, all weathers. The grass isn't draining great and is getting really boggy and muddy. Some parts of it, the chickens can stand and you can only see their legs, their feet are under water!
What's the best way to manage garden drainage for grassy areas or ways to keep the areas clear/clean. Any tips or tricks to manage draining, or keeping the chooks dry is appreciated.
Thanks all in advance
