So sorry if this was answered in a previous topic. We have a coop... note the bottom run portion
that when it rains the run get pretty wet, not swampy like the rest of the yard, just very damp. I have (had) sand under the hen house and pine shavings, they spread the shavings EVERYWHERE! the pine is wet, not soggy just wet. would it be best to have just dirt or sand down below?
their coop (hen house is warm and dry with 6 inches of pine shavings
We have 4 girls ( love them!!) and I want to make sure they are healthy and happy this winter (we are very new to raising chickens)
suggestions? ideas or comments are very appreciated
