I just finished building my coop a few days ago and it's going to have a dirt floor for the deep litter. I put down two bags of top soil I bought at Home Depot to build the floor up a bit before I go and add litter to it. There aren't any chickens in it yet (just got my new chicks yesterday) but I opened it to do something today and the topsoil is infested with baby grasshoppers/crickets! My yard is full of grasshoppers and these look and hop just like them but are absolutely tiny. Is this something I need to dump everything out and redo? Or since they aren't mites and are a food source, should I let it go and see what happens?
