What to fill my duck run with? And progress pics

[shawluvsbirds]

Hi everyone. I need to build up the ground in the run of the new duck palace we are building. I'm wanting to basically do the deep litter method in the run but I need to fill it to the bottom board to start out with. . should I just fill it with dirt? Layer rock and then dirt for drainage? Ideas and brainstorming is needed! Thanks in advance

Oh. . I should add that I don't really want to use any sand because we get fleas in our sand where we live.

You should fill your run with dux.

If we're being serious here, I'd just do dirt/leaves. Rocks get mixed into the bedding.
