WET SAND IN THE COOP

[aart]

I have a similar issue. We built our coop (8x10 shed) on a paver patio we never used. We added a 12’ enclosed run. The pavers must not allow for great drainage because the under layer of sand is wet and smells. The last time I turned the sand to promote drying one of the chickens started sounding raspy. Is there a fix? Remove the sand or the pavers?

@Keek2 best to start a new thread with pics of your coop.

I also love the sand. I do add a bit of pine shavings to the covered run in the winter, but remove it in the spring. Sand is so easy to clean - but I clean, daily.
