Personally, I don't think the sand would hold as much heat as the straw does,but if scooped on a regular basis then the smell won't be bad.

Thanks!! and the kiddie pool with sand is a cool idea! Hope you get eggs soon!

yes i think that ill clean a little every day!!

Thanks everyone!! how often do you change out the hay??

WOW! I didn't know that, about the corn starch in the bags lol but thanks for the info!!

Thanks i might try the leaves in the coop idea its free and the neighbors do the work and all you have to do is stock up on bags of leaves. My grandma has a TON of leaves every fall ill try it!

Do you use a mix of whatever leaves are raked and put to the curb or do you use a certain type of leaf???

This makes sense to me because if you just pick up a little every day you wont have a mountain of chicken poo to be shoveling out at the end of the week!! I have been thinking of a diy wire sifter so i can just lift up the wire and the sand would fall through and catch the poop ,thoughts?!?!?!

Yes i think that pine shavings are a good option but i think that having sand and PDZ mixture so i could just scoop out the poop with a cat litter scoop and not have to throw out all the shavings when i clean but i think that i would switch to shavings come winter time!

Thanks ill go check it out!!

But is it ok to make it the "bedding" in the coop and not just for in the poop tray??!!??

Is if fine to have just pdz mixed with sand for coop floor or should i just mix it in with the shavings.

Thanks for the info everyone!!

Yeah i use the flakes for my quail tractor so i may just use it for the girls too but i also used sand in the run and how often do you put in fresh straw fro them to scratch around in ??

(pixie) Interesting! just fluff up,add more, repeat. I see you have some buff's, go check out my other thread when i asked about them if want! thanks.

Thanks!! ive been looking at the deep litter method Thanks!! Ive been looking at the deep litter method as well i understand the process but what is your routine ??

This makes sense to use whats readily available! I used shavings fro my quail but some have showed me different things that i need to consider!!

Please answer which of these 10 types of bedding from your past experience worked the best and why?!?! Thanks
