Hello. This is my first time raising chicks. We have four chicks that are about 3 weeks old. We are going to start building our coop. Our backyard is not too big. It is half cement and half yard, but the yard part is covered with rocks about the size of a fig that go down about 6 inches...
DEFINITELY NOT OKAY!!! they could choke! I had a friend who had this problem and her poor chick died by choking on them! I would suggest taking shredded up newspaper and using that as bedding instead!
