Our garden had a chicken house and run already here when we moved in. Unfortunately they were built on the lowest part of the garden. Our chicken run is on clay soil and in rainy weather it is VERY muddy. The outside of the run is also very wet and muddy and the water drains into the run. We have considered using sand or wood chips or dirt in the run, but although these things would help initially we would still have the problem of water draining into the run from outside. We are now thinking of digging a soak away at the lowest point outside the run and filling it with pea shingle. Or we will have to raise the floor of the run with hard concrete. Has anyone got any other ideas? Thank you. Lucy
