Following on from the finalised plan, I was wondering what the best floor would be to house silkie bantams. They'll be free ranging around the garden for most of the time (getting into all the muck and dirt Cheesy) but for really really wet days, they'll be confined to the run. I was thinking of using largish pea gravel for the run as our garden has been known to semi flood in the worst days of winter (few cms of water in places) and I'm hoping the gravel will prevent swimming chickens? I'm mindful of using anything that can clog up their feathery feet/bums if its really wet.
TIA
