Sooo much pooping

[chickyhazel]

Our eglu and cube are fairly permanently placed but are just on mud. We rake it over every few months and put down garden lime when we rake it. Do we need to put down a different surface? Our chickens seem healthy enough.

I use 1" of Auboise (hemp horse bedding).

 

In winter the eglu is on patio slabs with Auboise down on floor, in Spring/Summer the eglu is in permanent position on lawn (albeit no lawn under the run) but also with Auboise down as base.

 

I cover the run to keep Auboise dry and change it once a month.

 

So, summer set up on grass:

 

Winter set up on patio,
