I'm new myself. The feed store sold me corn cob litter which worked excellently, but was alot more expensive than pine shavings. I used a combo of both. Just don't use cedar, as the oils cause breathing problems. Sorry I don't have any pics, but when the chicks were little I kept them in a big plastic tub. They were able to jump out after afew weeks, so I made a lid out of hardware cloth. Start them at 95 degrees F. and lower temp 5 degrees each week. Awesome! Have fun with you chicks!

I found a galvanized trough that the feed stores sell their chicks out of. I don't have a great picture, but as soon as I figure out how to post one I will.
