Harriet88 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hi everyone, I wondered if anyone had any ideas as to what would be best to put down to keep the chooks from getting muddy feet? We have a large, covered, fixed run so can't move it around to keep it on fresh grass and unfortunatly they don't free range properly because of predators (we live surrounded by 600 acres of wooland and found out the hard way) Thanks!

JanTheDiver Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I use Elephant Grass, it seems to stay dry but I do have most of the run covered over, but there are small open bits and that isn't getting muddy. I got mine from my local hen supplier, but I do know a lot of people haven't heard of it when I ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speckled hen Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I use easi-bed or something similar depending on what the supplier has in, it is great stuff and lasts around 10 weeks before it needs changing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Woodchip? If its well sheltered and well covered then the horse beddings are good If its more wet than dry then go for Woodchip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
