Try your local county co-op store, or a feed and seed store. You'll probably be able to find the bedding, plus it'll probably be less expensive.

My nipple water system doesn't seem to be leaking anywhere but their bedding gets wet very fast still somehow so I have a problem to figure outIt doesn't help that my run has not been built yet because hubby keeps putting it off so the poor things haven't even been outside yet. Cleaning soaked stinky bedding is no fun!
Has anyone else had trouble finding pine shavings at their local TSC? I keep checking at mine but they didn't have it and said there's a shortage throughout the whole chain store.
My 6 big boys are getting feisty too! They aren't as bad on me but pecked a good spot on my husbands leg that bled. They mostly peck my toes from the holes in my rubber shoes. I still can't tell if either of my RIR little ones are pullets or roos.
Hi Everyone,
Wanted to let everyone around NE Alabama know that we are having a small livestock swap and sale on May 24th. It will be at the Harvest Feed Mill in Harvest, AL. We will be there from 10am-2pm. If you are interested in being a vendor, look on Facebook at AL Small Livestock Swap & Sale for details! Spread the word! I look forward to seeing everyone there!
The Bessemer has been out of it the last two times I went over a 3 week span -_- My dad is coming over to have a look at the water system in a bit and I'll try to get a picture then.I bought my bedding a week or two ago. They usually keep it outside.
If you post a pic we can probably tell you what you have.
I may have to try Thrasher Feed Store in Bessemer. I have no idea what they have or price I guess I will call first The 6 bags I had stored up have been depleted from wet beddingTry your local county co-op store, or a feed and seed store. You'll probably be able to find the bedding, plus it'll probably be less expensive.
I hope everyone is okay and not having too much trouble from the weather. We've had problems but not as bad as some.
Late Sunday night, DH and I were out in the driving wind and lighting, trying to access and handle the results of the wind. Roofs off of two of my coops, trees down, flooding (not too bad at my place, just really soggy and a couple of inches of sheeting water in my coops) and no power for over 24 hours. I didn't loose any adult birds, but I had a chick in the "bra-bator" all night. I had washed it in warm water and put it in the hatcher to dry just before the power went out. The others were dry and in the brooder. The sad part for me is the eggs that were/are in the Sportsman. There are nearly 200 eggs that were in there that probably won't hatch. I had to work and couldn't be there when he hooked it up to the borrowed generator, so I don't know what the temp got down to, but my guess would be in the 70's.
Sixty of those eggs were an order for a lady that has a petting zoo and needs chicks for an Easter event in two weeks. I called to give her the news, and she just BOO_HOOed. She went on to explain that her barn flooded (over waist deep) and she lost almost all of the animals she uses in her business. All but one of her pygmy goat kids, all her bunnies, piglets, kittens, and a few birds. It's so sad. She is struggling to get started and has just been able to secure a couple of large events and now she has no animals. The only insurance she has is for liability.
Eighteen of my eggs were the exhibition quality Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas that I had shipped to me from Texas. The rest were my Silver Campines that I have been working so hard to get started. The last batch of SCs are in the hatcher and there are no signs of pips today (day 22.)
We don't have a generator. We have several that we can borrow. All of those were in use by their owners and we were not able to get one for the first 8-10 hours. There are power company employees feverishly working to restore power, but there are lots of large trees to remove and detangle first.
As far as I know, there were no losses of human life in my community, but there was a child swept away and drowned in a nearby city. The strange thing is, these were not tornadoes. It was over 5" of rain to soak the ground, then strong straight line winds. It was just the right mix (or wrong mix) that caused the problems.
I have my friends, neighbors, and family, the animals can be replaced.
