All good suggestions

Thanks, this will be an interesting project as we expand our coop to accommodate 30 new birds.

es dirt is an option, thanks. Would you hard pack this in like an earthen floor?

Wood chips, I saw a YouTube video of a girl from the States who used spruce bows and I tried that in my present coop to cut the smell and this worked great. Thanks for your input.

Hi,

I want to build a new coop this year and will make it out of pallets with clay-straw infill. I've been thinking about the floor and wanted to use something natural. I'm open to any suggestions, I had thought about clay but am not sure about its durability and odors.

Thanks for any input.

Hi Megh,

How do you feel about Canada? Would you be interested in coming to a small starter farm? We have Maple Syrup, Small flock chickens and lots of organic gardening which includes new hugelkulture beds. We have a blacksmith shop onsite and are looking at building cob walls and a cob oven for a community kitchen this coming season.
