We'll be moving our week old chicks out to the garage brooder this weekend, and I'm still debating what to do in terms of floor/bedding. For the MHP "holder", I thought I would use pine shavings - just seems more comfortable than other options! For the rest, I've thought about sand/PDZ, pine shavings, non-slip shelf liner, etc. I've also considered cutting out half the floor and just replacing with 1/2" hardware cloth with a tub underneath to catch the droppings. Though perhaps if given a choice, they would stay off the HC since it might be less comfortable to walk on.
Thoughts? Advice? Would like something that is easy to clean / maintain. The wood is not treated or otherwise protected, so it does need something on it, I would think...
