    Pool sand: usable for dirt bathing?

    Agreed on the chlorine. I think it's very fine sand, but not sure about the DE. It came with the house, so not sure about the contents of the sand. That's something I had not thought about - we will likely forgo using it.

    week 2 in larger brooder box

    Thank you! Right now they all fit under the plate, so we should be ok. It's so nerve wracking having them outside - even if it's in my cold garage!

    hi all! We live in NC where the temps range from 32 overnight to 50s and 60s during the daytime. The 'day old' chicks came 2/25, so are about 2 full weeks now.

    Thanks! I have puppy pads and pine shavings. I had an extra roll of paper towels so figured that would work. I thought of using cardboard under the pine shavings to help absorb anything the puppy pads missed.

    Hi all! My chicks arrive on Tuesday (so excited!) and I set up their brooder. I am using paper towels, but then got to wondering if it matters what KIND of paper towels.
