Chicken coop advice

[Sp1rited]

Hello! I need some advice as we will be new to chicken ownership and I want to get it right. We have just moved to a place where there were aviaries. I thought this would be ideal for the chickens but not sure what to do about the ground as it's covered in gravel. Is there something we can put on top of the gravel? Any advice appreciated!

We have chickens though only got them last March so fairly new to this.

On the floor of our chicken coop we have this:

The chickens have a sleeping area where they go at night in their house and nest boxes - these both have bedding in them and more of the sanitising powder over. We only have female chickens. Ours also have a dustbath and dust in it though that is less essential. Need to make sure foxes can't get in.

There's a basic guide here:

We've bought most things from this company, its definitely not the cheapest but lovely products and very caring abot chickens.

Though every 6 months or so you change it completely so may need to clear the gravel out as well first though not 100% sure about that. We spinkle some of this over it which helps prevents germs:

Thank you so much for your advice, it has really helped. Very excited to get everything in place and choose our chickens now 😁
