I rake leaves up, lawn clippings, and toss in a bucket of sand after a good rain at one end for scratching and dusting in. I generally try to rake it up to keep the poops down and put whatever dry stuff I can which will also keep them entertained.

Our purebreds are housed separately and take turns free-ranging most days of the week, but stay in if I’m not home. Save your fall leaves to bank the coop and to lay over the cold ground when Jack Frost comes to town.
