I have sharp sand in the run and dig it over about every 2 weeks depending on how it smells ;)
the hens tend to do most of the digging themselves

I don't do that to the soil we have plants around our pen and their roots grow long and thick that way if a fox tried to get into out pen they would not be able to dig around the roots.
