Why I LOVE sand in my brooder!
Wow! Ive had sand in my brooder.from week one and have never had that problem and I dont scoop daily. Maybe you have too many chicks in one brooder for sand? Maybe since there are so many chicks one scoop a day isnt enough? I sure hope your little one makes it!!- flossyandprissy
