I did for awhile in one brooder. It did not last long though, just one batch of chicks. I don't use it anymore. Poop gets mashed into the sand, and it really needs to be hosed out, I found. That was my experience. I liked it at first, but not later. If it were outside, I would like it (and I do like sand outside).

I'm going to use it with my turkeys when they are a month old but I really like shavings in with my chicks though I use a 12x12 rubber matted stall with a hover type brooder it has stayed very dry and fluffy and the temperature swings here are extreme so I don't worry about them getting chilled.

Germaine, I am still waiting to see your pictures that you promised us!

I us a plastic 54 gallon stock tank for a brooder and then play sand from Home Depot <3 bucks for 50# Its also washed> and when the poop gets a little deep I scoop it out with a
kitty litter scoop and put in new sand. I always start with fresh sand with each batch of new
Del baby's because I have no other breeds.

Here are my brooders....

The little blue one worked great...I put a puppy training pad down, shavings on top and just lifted and tossed the whole thing away...it was great

Three broodies, and each one has at least one chick out. Here are 2 of them.

In the event you did not already know this fact about Dellies....they are goofy!

Cannonball was walking by me, or so I thought, and she just threw herself down. Silly bird scared me to death but she just wanted to soak up the little sunshine that peeked through the clouds.

Just to show off some of the babies....this is Luna and my head hen, Maggie the NHR

and of course my sweet boy
