They have scoopers at Petco supposedly. I actual ave a wire kitchen thing I decided to use. I usually just take off the first layer every week or so.

I guess that I need to make a trip to Petco or Pets Mart. Pets Mart is in the same shopping center as Target and Ross. Might have to make a multiple stop shopping trip!

Those of you who use sand in your brooders, what do you use to clean the poop out? I just switched the quail to sand and now I need to clean all of those little poops!

How many people are using sand??? I just started considering this and I am considering it pretty hard. Plus I already bought some granulated Sweet PDZ because I figured the powder would just be too dusty, and I would think they would mix together pretty well. I can't imagine I will be able to sift out any Quail poo because it is just too small. But the shavings.... pretty stinky pretty fast.

If you find you can actually sift out any "organic material" let me know.

I would think something with a screen on it might work, but I haven't opened the PDZ to see how big it is.

I am considering sand for the chicken coop too along with a PDZ poop board. I so wish I had a handy man around to help with this. I am procrastinating because it is just beyond my knowledge level! UGH!

Everything goes on sale to Departments first and if they do not sell, then they go to public sale. There is a time period for the Department sale--I think it is a month.

These should go onto public sale--What department would buy one of those?

You can sift it so to speak. I just take off a layer of poo and sand balls once or twice a week. Then you are back to the sand under it.
