I am considering raising my new flock in sand. I am switching to keeping my chickens in a stall in my barn and I have heard that raising them in sand is supposed to have more benefits than cons. I have a large barn so I don't believe the respiratory issue known with sand is a problem. They will be free range and put up at night. I was wondering if raising them from babies in sand is too much? How will the sand work with the heat lamp?
