Hello,
I have dirt then 4"-6" mulch fresh or aged mulch, that you can find for free on CL from landscaping companies or you just pay gas money to them..
I tried everything from sand ( attracts many flies) I tried hay which if it got wet don't absorb liquids very well.
Then I tried using mulch, I'm not talking about your expensive designer mulch, I got free mulch from land scabing company who got wood chips and needed place near by to deliver for...
Love purely poultry hatchery,
I just received my 22 chicks all alive and healthy, good prices on maranas and some other breeds that's might be more expensive with other hatcheries marking them as rare breed.
I received my 17 ducklings from Hoover hatchery today all healthy and happy, this is my second Hoover order I got turkies from them before and I'm waiting for my chicken chicks ..very good price, fast shipping and friendly customer service.
I know but i have welsumers they look like they have more gold to them and brown, and my black stars from last year look just like pic#2 .. but I could be wrong ..
