I just got my first batch of baby chicks, they came home a week ago. Last night I switched them over to pine shavings(they had been on paper towels previously), they are very light and small shavings which is all I could find in the 3 stores I went to. Now they are constantly picking, scratching, and digging in them. I do see them occasionally stop at their feeder and pick there too.
My question is is there a way I can tell if they are ingesting too much bedding? And if they are what can I do. This will be the bedding they will be using from now on seeing as it's the only type available in our area so I want to make sure they are safe. We only have 3 options the shavings, pine pellets, and straw.
