Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it. Do you know if the sweet PDZ (?)coated poo can be tossed into a compost pile?

OK ... I've tried 3 different searches for the words "in the brooder' in this thread and I can't find what I'm looking so I'm just going to post.
At the risk of being redundant - because I'm SURE that somewhere in here it's been discussed - can you use it in a brooder? Is it safe for chicks?? My brooder is a great big, plywood box on legs thing that I borrowed from a friend - and even cleaned out, it smelled a little before the chicks went in. It's about 3 1/2' x 5' and only has 8 chicks in it. They've been in there for 3 days now and it's GOT to be cleaned out tonight. I was thinking how nice it would be to simply scoop the poo instead of sweeping/shoveling/digging it out. And - added bonus - I could more easily monitor the baby poo since most of it now simply vanishes into the shavings.
Sooooo, here's my older daughter (Leah, the artist) sprucing up my Happy Chickie Coop.... did the sunshine and puffy clouds today (these on the wall behind the perches. Grass and flowers will follow later on this week.I LOVE your painting idea!!! I'm yoinking it for my coop!! DH thought I was a little nutty when I said I was painting blue skies and poofy clouds in the coop... but he's going along with it
AHH! Love the sunny wall!
I think that I'm gonna hold off on putting pdz in the brooder. I thought I had gotten lucky with how tidy my girls were being - everyone had stories of how messy chicks were, but my prissy little princesses hadn't dumped anything or pooped in anything..... Until this morning. I opened up the brooder and the water was empty, the bedding was wet, the feeder was on it's side and they were all in a corner looking at me as if to say "What? We didn't do anything! It was like that when we got up this morning!" Oh well.
