I have another question. Thank you for all the replies.    What do you do with the dirty sand? Can you put it in your garden? Does it compost?

This sand will be for the coop. Construction sand can be used in the coop?

We're thinking of switching to sand. What type of sand should we use? Play sand? construction sand? gravel? How cold is too cold for sand? What do you do if it gets too cold? What is too hot? What do you do if it gets too hot?

Thank you.

Ok, we have this 4-5 year old hen that is not walking right. She just kind of limps around, when she does walk, which isn't often. She had a poopy butt, so I gave her a bath. I thought it might be leg mites so I put some of our leg...

Good, because my chickens were eating that. LOL. 

Is it ok if chicks or chickens eat the sandy substance (No idea what it's called) in the meal worm container?
