Man i HATE those shavings luckily it rained all day while I was out and got my straw soaking wet and I had a whole unopened bag of that crap in my shed.

lol are all those chicks the same cross?

gotcha. I don't know why but when I first looked at it I thought they were boxed in completely. I can't get that tin roofing anywhere around here like lowes, Home Depot etc...

I went to Gemco (metal carports) and bought a bunch of scrap tin, some of it was 20' long.

To tell u how wonderful those shavings are one time it rained some and my grey brood pair's pen was wet not bad but I had this great idea to use that sawdust to try and soak up the water anyway by the next day the cock was nasely and dripping snot I had to box the pair up And move their pen. 2 days later he was back to normal.not to mention the dust that makes it look Like it snowed..

i know all about that dust. I got 3 brooders going in the basement now and I'll have a fourth in about a week. This last one is big enough for two people to lay down in. It's always fun taking that big box outta the shed. Had to unload and finally put away my decoys that were being stored in it.
I use shavings inside my coops. It's way easier to clean out weekly/biweekly depending on weather and temps. Straw is horrible for inside closed coops. Believe me I know. What a nightmare cleaning them out. I've never even tried shavings in a regular pen type deal.
