I live in relatively urban Oakland, CA, and something is tunneling under my coop. My chickens are safe as I have hardware cloth lining and tenting the coop, but the tunnels are causing all my sand coop flooring to fall in, exposing more and more of the wire to my hens feet.
What are my options here? I don't want to just keep buying sand because I'm guessing they'll just keep tunneling and wasting the sand as it falls into the holes. Do I have to add an actual floor to my coop? I need to move it eventually so adding a floor might give me a good excuse to move the coop and solidify my set up.
