I was planning to use pine shavings in my coop as well as my brooder but have read on other threads that they can cause problems. What is a safe bedding material for my coop and my chicks?
I am turning an old shed into a chicken coop and have found many large burrows/holes in the ground near the shed. The shed has wood floors, so it is not a problem in the coop itself, but I am planning on making a run for when they are not free ranging and am worried about whatever rodent is...
