Your Run

[AKnewbie]

How do you keep it clean?
Do you pick up the poop everyday? Every week?
What is the material inside your run? Dirt? Gravel?
I have a poopy, frozen run right now. Please help?

I have river sand 4 inches deep. It drains quite well, so not wet. The chickens keep it turned over. I don't clean it.

Mine is dirt, i rake it daily.. i also toss in grass clippings and leaves.

Mine is deep litter, mostly straw with some leaves and random bits of stuff, with dirt beneath. It has a plastic roof to keep off rain. I "stir" it occasionally (maybe once a week, sometimes less) to incorporate manure and fluff it up but never remove litter except to use some on the gardens or compost pile from time to time. I add a little bit of fresh straw or leaves occasionally on an as-needed basis. I add a bit of DE occasionally to control mites, lice, or moisture.

Thanks all. Giving me a lot of ideas to think about.
Going Quackers, I see you are in Canada, what do you do when the ground is frozen?
