It's natural pine pellets. Brand name, Natures Bedding. It sells at a feed store here 50 lbs for about $5. It's nice because it breaks down with water so I just toss it under my shrubs when it has served it's purpose.

Love the new pic. They are so cute all strung out in a line. I don't normally name mine until they are older. They change so much, and I like a name that reflects their personality.
Here's the youngest bunch of mine. Uno (bottom left in first pic) was the only one that hatched out of a bunch I set. I had to find a companion for the poor lonely chick so I bought Sunshine from a local lady. Sunshine is at least 2 wks older but they get on famously. I hated the idea of raising just 2 so got 4 more chicks 2 weeks later (the soonest I could find any), 3 of which are EE's. Here's a good pic in which you can see the size difference between them. Sunshine is a full month older than the little one's (a week old here) but is really great with them - they treat her kinda like a mom. It's very sweet to watch.
I also have a group of 6 that I gotta get pics of. They are 13 wks today.
I thought I would share this.I see in post 135 a similar color.Could this be jubilee as in cornish.Don't know if they still breed them but saw them once.
Some general traits are, green/blue legs, beard/muff, lay blue or green eggs and their color is not one of the accepted colors in the standard for a true Ameraucana.
