Hi!
ivejust joined too!
I'm raising four week old chicks and three day old chicks at the moment!
I can’t believe someone could steal a flock of ducks! Geez! The nerve. I can’t get my head around that.
I'm in the UK and will be rearing mine on my back garden so I guess I’m visualising someone...
I had the same... I used sawdust only.
I moved them into a baby playpen and at first didn5 put sawdust down as didn’t think necessary (they were in the same tub as yours but need that for new hatched chicks )
after a day without sawdust it smelt terrible!!! So, for me, it’s sawdust that helps...
