What do you put down on the run it’s self like is it sand gravel or just dirt

[@FoothillLife]

It’s dirt topped with pine shavings.

Looks good... I'm new at raising chicken's. Have mine in a dog kennel so far, until i get a chicken coop and run built.
Keep up the great work 👋👍🏻

I put the hardware cloth around my coop and run. On top of it I put ccblocks and planted a garden. I have had this run for over 4 years with no breaches. I have had raccoons, possums, armadillo and even a bob cat. On the areas I had to walk I just laid -paver stones. Yours is looking good.

[@FoothillLife]

Thank you Addie. Was it hard to put the hardware cloth on the coop? I mean there’s so many doors. Curious how you accomplished that. 😊

[@addieanderson2043]

@@FoothillLife my coop is 2 ft off the ground. I used self taping screws. With the elevation they have plenty of shade.
