Hello everybody,
I am new at the forum and don't really know how things work but hope to find out!
I just got some days old chicks (Australorp and Rhode Island). I put them in a home made brooder : a tall plastic toy box (stolen from my kids), with a light in it. I am not sure of the flooring. I've tried paper towel but am not very happy with it, read straw is not good (???), so was thinking of putting sand (as I have a good supply in my yard). I would love for someone to give me some advice . Thanks
