I've just put my eggs into lockdown for my 2nd ever quail hatch so I'm prepping my brooder. Our first hatch we used pine shavings as the bedding. Last lot we got from the feed store the pine shavings are much much finer. Almost sawdusty. I currently have sand in there because I put that in there when I separated one that was being bullied.
Can I leave the sand? Or are the fine pine shavings okay? I do I need to go get some larger shavings? Other suggestions?
