Little bathers :-D

[HedwigsMum]

Hello!

It's miraculous that I'm able to accomplish anything these days; I could watch these babies of ours all dayyyyy!

Anyway, they've started bathing in sprinkled/spilled feed and it's too cute. (As if I need to tell anyone that, here)

I'm looking for brand-specific recommendations for sand they can bliss out in. It would be a feat to find dirt that isn't heavy and muddy on our land right now.

Thanks! ❤

I think Diatomaceous earth would be a good choice. You can get it at walmart

If you look up in your phone book the number of your nearest gravel, sand, and cement yard, you will have a choice of different grades of sand. I use masonry sand since it's a nice mix of fine sand up to eighth inch gravel. I buy it for $20 for a half a yard, which is much more than you will want. But those guys are usually so nice, I bet they'd fill up a bucket of yours for a buck or two.

Thanks, but I have to avoid DE. One of my daughters is asthmatic and I believe it's on the no-no list (unless I'm mistaken).

There's a place really close to us that may have it. I'll ring them up tomorrow. Thanks! :-D

Not good for anyone to breathe.

DE is not your friend, asthmatic or not. And it's bad for the birds to inhale too.
