Carribean Fine Play Sand
Thank you so much. We are doing our after snow clean up now, so will be using the BBQ pit ... I'll mix the ash with some potting soil. Where we are the 'dirt' is more clayish so soil added is necessary to grow anything very well, and probably a good idea for the babies!- LadyGuinevere

Ok for dust bath?
Okay so a fine sand is not so good ... but we do have a bbq pit in teh yard. We're not allowed ot have a fire pit where I live so we don't ... we made it 38 inches and bought a grate to cook on ... voila, bbq pit LOL I can burn wood to make a nice dust bath out of wood ash.- LadyGuinevere

When my family sat down to decide where to put the initial house and run ... they had to keep in mind I am disabled, so it's against the house just outside the door. The yard needs help (straightening) but we will complete that during the next week. I wondered how to teach them to go inside...- LadyGuinevere

I mentioned the suggestion for the coop and he's going to cover the run area to give them more room to roam. The vet actually does do chickens, she was raised on a poultry farm in central Michigan. Her training is farm specific, but does domestic as well. We met her prior to bringing the...- LadyGuinevere

I absolutely am not ever offended by any comments and suggestions. I actually appreciate them as this is our first time with chickens, so I actually look forward to the help. There is a window I leave cracked at night. They have never touched their food at night that I've noticed so far...- LadyGuinevere
