I currently have 7 2 week old baby chicks in a brooder inside the house. I want to wait till they are fully feathered before putting them in the outside coop. I need some help with bedding advice. They have moved beyond using papertowels in the bottom of the brooder. I know pine shaving are good but I live a hour away from the closest place to buy them. So I need something to use now until I can go get some. I have straw, but I don't like using it as it is not absorbant. I do have critter care bedding for my rabbit, can I use it with the chicks. Has anyone ever used it before it is the brown kind that Walmart sells.. Please I need advice now.. Thank you..
