What makes a chicken coop easy to live with?

[LottieR]

Hello,

 

How deep does the flooring of the run have to be? It is on a concrete hardstanding if it makes any difference.

And how big should the dust bath be? Is it ok to put the dusty mix (i'm sure there is a better name for it) just in a tray of some kind on the floor, I was thinking of a cat litter type tray but I thought they might knock it over so would need something heavier.

 

Thanks

I only have my Aubiose (horse bedding) an inch or so thick and I use a litter tray for their dust bath and sometimes three of them use it at once!!

 

It has never tipped over so far. (In two and a half years)
