This has been a fabulous thread for me as we decide on what to use for the coop floor. Many very helpful comments. I have horses so have plenty of shavings, but even in the brooder, they are a pain as I waste so many good ones to clean. I put some soil in one half and shavings in the others. I find I can add more soil to take away any odor--or stir it up a bit. Shavings--no way. So we'll be getting stream/brook/river sand--whatever they call it here in the Finger Lakes.
HEME--your comments have been so helpful. I love the tone of your sharings. Thank you.
