In the Brooder
So, I brought in some sandy soil from the area where my new coop is. I thought I would dry it out (it's been raining so I actually dried it in the oven). Put some in a shallow tray thinking it would occupy the chicks (3 wks old? Not sure) and they would scratch and peck and do their dust bath thing. Omg they love it. My question is that they seem to have eaten the majority of the thin layer I gave them and I wasn't sure if this was too fine a grain for them to eat right now. It's basically the only soil I have here. It's very sandy here by lake michigan and this soil is very fine in consistency. Thanks
