In the Brooder
Love this site, but still trying to figure out navigation etc., so I hope I do this right.
I have been reading about DLM. Is it o.k. To use hay along with pine shavings? I have also been using the DE as well. My chicks are about 9weeks old now and seem to be doing well. We built them a coop (store bought one was just NOT going to be big enough for full grown chickens) but they all insist on sleeping in one laying box all together. Any thing I should do or will they grow out of this? They will literally for sure.
Thanks for any advice! AND THe TITLE SHOULD BE : New to BYC Not BYE
