Currently I have a prefab coop for my 5 buff Orpington and 3 EE pullets. Right now there’s tractor supply shavings in the coop and run. I would like something with a more sandy texture for the run so they can dust bath, but nothing that will heat up and hurt their feet. Any suggestions?

Hello! My 4 chicks are in the brooder now with paper towels and a non-slip shelf liner on the bottom . I got the chicks on Saturday and they are a week old. When should I make the switch to pine shavings? Or should it be gradually?
