Wet, Muddy coop.. idea's?

I'm not sure if I missed it, but just in case, try to slope the ground away from the run and coop (like you would a patio or driveway) to encourage the water to drain away.

I love using sand in both the run and coop. It makes cleanup so fast and easy using a long handled kitty litter scoop. The sand absorbs liquid quickly and doesn't rot, nor does it track into the house as bad. It's less expensive because it doesn't have to be shoveled out and replaced repeatedly, either.

I had the same situation, and I have a four letter word for you.......SAND!

Get a load of sand from a sand and gravel place, pour that in there and it will work like magic. And it lasts a long time. Just be sure to rake it out at least once a week to remove the poo and debris. I rake mine out each evening.
