    Brooder bedding

    I hadn't thought of corn cob. That seems like a good idea. I'll look into it. I only have four chicks also.

    Brooder bedding

    Thanks everyone! The pellets were half the price of the shavings at my local feed store so I did get them, but wanted to make sure they were okay to use.

    Brooder bedding

    Do I need the pine shavings under the pellets? Is that for absorption?

    Brooder bedding

    Has anyone used pellets on the brooder floor? The lady at the feed store recommended them over shavings. Are they okay for the chicks to walk around on? The chicks are 3 days old. Thanks.

    Question for those with more experience - I have one chick who has broken off pieces of the egg shell, but it looks like the inner membrane is still intact. Is that normal? Shouldn't she have broke through the membrane first? Thanks!
