    Mistake? Pine shavings in brooder is a no-no?

    I have lined my brooder with pine shavings and put 2 week keets and pullets inside the brooder this morning. Just now I read not to put anything in the brooder. Why are pine shavings not a good thing to use?

    New to raising chickens and guinea fowl

    My name is Yvonne and my family calls me Vonnie11. I have 7 hens, 1 rooster, and 7 guineas (3 female). I love watching them! They are all past the 1 year mark and seem to be enjoying the acreage we have for foraging. I love this site as I am learning so much from all of you. Thank you!

    Sad Guinea? Sits alone
