Gareth12 225 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 What do you use on the floor of your runs? Ive got the run on soil/grass but im finding that they are becoming wet and muddy in the rain. Have been thing of putting some form of gravel or chippings down but not sure how this will effect the birds feet? any advise? moving the pens around is not really an option due to lack of space.

bullx100% 681 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Sharp sand.....kept my birds on it of a while now and never had a problem with them been cacked in mud....it does stick to the bottom off my boots when my boots are wet but it's only a tiny amount and is hardly noticeable....plus when it's a nice dry day it makes excellent dust baths for the birds......I also found that it soaked in the moisture from the birds droppings and don't get that chickens smell lol..... That my two cents worth lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
