Employ the Deep Litter Method in Coop

Solution

Use the deep litter method for coop bedding management.

Explanation

Starting with a thick layer (4-6 inches) of absorbent bedding (pine shavings recommended) and regularly adding thin, fresh layers on top helps absorb moisture and control odor through natural composting. The bedding pack needs to be kept aerated (turned occasionally) and not allowed to get capped or overly wet.

Notes

Requires good coop ventilation. Needs to be managed correctly to be effective; remove heavily soiled/wet spots as needed.
