OH, thats OK then......I just remember not directly ON the newspaper......Ya know what yer doing for sure then...

Bobby, I read somewhere on BYC that newspaper is a no-no for chicks because of the ink...paper towels over bedding. I have used play sand before and it worked fine. Very easy to put paper towels over too.

Zoo mummy-how do like using the pelleted pine for bedding? I'm always having trouble with rice hulls filling up the waterer. Do you think that the pellets are too hard when they lie down on them?
I love your chicks. Especially like Mille Fleur coloring. Congratulations on such a cute batch!

Bobby, she is probably using pine pellet bedding... My only word of advise on that is please be careful and really smell it before using it. I switched to it wanted to cut down on dust, first bag was great. Got second bag from our usual feed store but different company (local mill actually), well by time we realized what and why we lost allot of chicks in several brooders and the only thing any of them had in common was the pellets...

We went back and smelled the remaining pellets in the bag and they had the worst chemical smell ever. These were equine pine pellet bedding at that! You just have to remember that these places have to compress the pellets with something???? We immediately bleached/cleaned every brooder and switched back to regular shavings and everyone was fine. It was a very hard lesson learned.

We changed the outside brooder to playsand with the older chicks, and it is so wonderful, no more shavings in the water or the food!!!! I'm using paper towels in the small brooder for the new hatches.
