Hey all y'all!
Sorry if this question is silly...I'm new to chickens and still learning
Im just about finished with building the coop, just a couple minor things now. The main level of the coop is there sleeping area, the bottom is the run where they will eat and drink. During the night they will be locked up in the coop with access to both levels. Right now, the bottom level is just dirt, I would like to add some nice rock covering. Is this ok, or will it affect their ability to walk or pinch their toes?
I've read that dirt is good for chickens, but I don't want them getting all muddy and tracking it inside the coop. This weekend I will build a 35x15 pin around the coop so they will have plenty of room and dirt.
