Sand in the brooder?

[FarmsteadOn4thStreet]

I’m setting up my brooder currently as my eggs are pipping, I have some bags of sand that I was wondering if I can use or if the sand has too large of pebbles. If not what is the easiest bedding to clean?

The chicks would eat it. I use puppy pads in my brooder.

I wouldn't at least for a few weeks. I prefer shavings personally. The big ones for at least a week and a half, and then big or fine is okay
