    Need advice on odor issue

    I've read that some people put down shavings or straw. I've tried the shavings and it does help a little. The smell is not that bad now, and I do keep it cleaned and raked out on a regular basis.

    Sand bedding in the brooder?

    yeah.. I agree....I tried paper towels one time and it did not keep the smell down and I was going through paper towels like crazy when I used those. Maybe with the sand you can kinda scoop it out like litter. Plus it depends on if they are inside or outside too.
