Plastic grass (not astro) help please!

We keep chickens and unfortunately they aren't very sympathetic to our lawn!
They used to free-range, but now they are in an extended run. But unfortunately, especially after all the recent rain, the floor has got pretty swampy!
I am looking for something to put down on the floor of the run, that's fairly low-maintenance, and was looking at something like this
http://!!!!!!!.com/btqn5xg (scroll to the bottom for a pic) which could be hosed down when it gets a bit poopy.
I have researched pages and pages of suggestions about wood chips, straw, aubiose etc etc. but I would like something that's more permanent.
And I have gone round and round in circles looking for this plastic grass, but the only suppliers I seem to be able to find are in China! So would presumably be quite costly in P&P!
I only need probably 2m x 6m, and I think astro wouldn't work as they'd probably peck it to pieces and maybe eat most of it!!
Sorry, I have waffled a bit, but would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction!
thanks!
