Bale of Hemp is HEEERE!

[Hip Hillbilly Acres]

The brooding room is FULL OF DUST. I mean it is on everything. Thank goodness my sewing machines are covered up. But the fabric . . . That's one thing I never ran into reading here - all about wood shaving dust. Huh, and I thought you peeps were perfect!! LOL . So, I can't simply go in, scoop out wood shavings and replace with the new hemp. Noooo, I gotta dust and wash; THEN replace wood shavings.

Oh, and guess what . . . I have COVID!!! Ughhhhh.

Maybe tomorrow. I got up rarin' to go. Next thing I knew I was throwing up. Ok, TMI. But we talk about everything else and I'm schnick!!!!

Better get those chicks outside....then clean up the dust.
Most the dust from chicks is from new feather sheathing.

Whaaat!!! Really. Wow, thanks. I wondered, "What the heck . . . " Seems it appeared from nowhere.

Thank you.

"Chick dust" is the reason I always recommend brooding outdoors, or at least outside of the house. I had my chicks in a bathtub and ended up having to scrub dusty, greasy dander off the shower walls, off the floor and all the way into a sink across from the tub. As aart noted, the dust is from the chicks themselves, not just the bedding.

Makes sense (brooding areas). Thanks for chiming up. Perhaps going forward I will be able to do that. This rental has no garage, not even a carport. We are building a tractor style coop.

Guess what, diagnosed with COVID the other day. Hit him next day, building has ceased for now during healing.
