Good point. I’ll write that up in here tomorrow and share the materials I used 🙂 since this was about sand wasn’t sure if I should change subject

UPDATE I got play sand at Lowes - Sakrete - and it actually was really good. It had some pebbles and gravel and was natural. Then I added some chick grit and some real red desert sand from Australia (I have extra from my bearded dragons but this stuff is expensive so will not be a repeat...

That was a great outlook :) :)

thank you, @cavemanrich I'd love to go and get some but transportation may be a problem right now. I don't need a lot just yet. Just enough for a small 2-quail hutch, and I'm going to try it in my 5-chick (bantam) brooder/transition box that's around 16 sq ft. Then when those chicks are adults...

Hi Everyone, I'm extremely interested in using river sand for my coops. Wanted to hear some pros and cons, and, I know from other threads that most people go to their local quarry and get some. Is there anyone who gets it online? I'd like to make an online purchase, and I'd love to know if this...
