Happy new year to all, hope 2017 brings joy and happiness!
Since having to keep the birds in, or the wild birds out, the chickens, ducks and geese have been pretty miserable all cooped up together. Although the enclosure I built is a decent size (30m square) the ducks have turned the grass into a mud bath, the rain hasn't helped either.
I've been putting wood clippings, hay and straw down on the floor but it's a bit of a never ending battle so the hens are going in of a night along with the ducks and geese and making the coops pretty dirty.
Short of topping up and changing the ground covering daily and cleaning the coops out has anyone got any clever tips and ideas that might help?
