Thanks everyone for the advice...I really appreciate it!

Thanks everyone for the responses...so I'm guessing if my chicks aren't eating the shavings I don't need to do the paper towels. However, it does seem that using paper towels will make cleaning easier...am I incorrect in this? Or will their droppings drip through and cause more harm?

I've read some posts and a local guy from the 4H says that the best thing for a brooder is to put pine shavings down and then place paper towels over them. Obviously this will make for an easier cleanup...is there a downside? I'm wondering why everyone isn't doing this if it's so good....
