Anyone do sand in their coop? DH and I just did a major coop clean out and replaced the floor and changed the bedding to sand. I am hoping it works like cat litter and i can go out and just scoop poop out rather than have to change it all out. Got the construction type sand from HomeDepot and it was pretty cheap at like $3 for a 70lb bag. I have a big coop and it took a lot of bags and I think I still want some more but I won't have to clean it all out everytime I clean. Just sift poop and add another bag when the level starts looking low.

It works really well in my head. We will see how it works in real life.

Oh and the eggs in my bator are still eggs but one day closer to being chicks.

I have only heard great things about sand in the coop!
 
I don't think I am going to be able to finish reading 400+ posts! Happy Easter everyone! Hope laid me TWO eggs yesterday!

She was in shock for a while without making any noises at all, and just stood in place with her eyes closed, and I had to push her down so she would know it was okay to lay down. Poor thing. She is back to he old self this morning though. I didn't see her lay the egg, but I pulled her lazy self out of her cage and sat with her on the couch, knowing something was wrong when she was quiet, so when I went to put her back in her cage, there was an egg AND an egg yolk already there!

So I sat with her on the floor and gave her some yogurt (because I thought she was lacking calcium because the egg had no shell, and her comb was very pale and squishy) and she pooped out the egg whites for the yolk! After sitting with her for a while, I put her back in the cage, laying down in a blanket, and this morning, I took her out into the sun (because that was why I figured she is laying so early - she is only three months old!) and she then pooped out the shell! Holy cow! Now she is feeling better. Btw, her first egg had its own little yolk inside. She is also not on her layers feed yet, and I can get her any until maybe tomorrow or Tuesday... I will just keep giving her a little bit of yogurt every now and then. (homemade greek yogurt)



Her comb was all flopped over.

This is what it looked like in the cage when I found it. (them?)



Looks like a balloon...



And it had its own little yolk. This egg was tiny.
