We're debating bedding for our new coop. Do I have this right, that sand is good as long as your coop stays dry? Our coop is raised and fully enclosed.
So far after several books read I'm leaning toward deep litter sand method. They will have a large protected run that will be on natural ground, with a baby pool dust bath provided under the coop for cover.

Tips on the correct names of sand type? (I'm in Pennsylvania - have not seen anything but play sand in stores so I need to know what to ask about when I call suppliers)
What do you do with the sand when you do a big clean out? I've seen recs to compost or add to run but sand isn't going to break down, is it?
