I'll be finishing up my coop here soon, and I can't make up my mind on what type of litter to put in it...
It's basically a 4x8 shed. Ground level with raised floor. The summers here in central VA can get pretty humid, and the area is pretty shaded, so it doesn't dry as quickly after a rainstorm either.
I've factored in plenty of ventilation options because of this, but I'm a bit worried about the litter staying too damp for deep litter method.
I'm going to put a poop board under the roosts with sand for allegedly easier cleaning/sifting. I also considered sand for the coop floor, but it seems like it's not a very popular material on this forum.
Any suggestions or input is greatly appreciated!
