    Can you do the DLM with a cardboard box?

    Has anyone used the deep litter method with a large cardboard box? This is my first time with chicks in a city setting. The last time I had ¼ acre and a well established flock. They are in the basement right now! All suggestions will be appreciated! Thanks
