Hi guys,

I just saw a video showing the Chicks Dig It sand in a chicken coop. It looks like it would work well and possibly be lower maintenance.
Right now I use straw in the nesting boxes and pine pellets for the rest of the coop, and my ducks have free run of my garden area during the day. The pellets need to be shoveled out and replaced each day. Not a huge deal, I know I signed up for that, but I wouldn't mind something that needed less replacement. Has anyone tried the CDI "premium" chicken sand? What are your thoughts?

Pics of my girls too!

Thanks!
Monica

I don't know much (or anything, really) about ducks, but I'm assuming ducks tend to be wet. I haven't been super happy with how Chicks Dig It behaves when wet. Tends to clump a bit, in my experience. Almost like cat litter.

Would that be problematic for you?
