False information about sand all over the internet

I think people obsess about their pets a bit. Chickens live all over the world, in different climates, different environments, etc. They wouldn't be nearly as successful a species as they are if sand that isn't the "right" type would kill them.

Yep! I agree, and not just about sand. We (me included) tend to forget that chickens are pretty hardy, and maybe coddle them more than necessary. I want mine to be healthy AND happy, and maybe focus too much on the happy.

Oh, I'm guilty of the same thing! Then I just have to remember they're tougher than I am lol!

I'm guilty of making chickens way harder (and more fun) than necessary
