[COLOR=800080]Wow that sounds great. Currently I'm using wood chips but we did just have some mite problems (thankfully all cleared up now).[/COLOR]
[COLOR=800080]I think it would be rather expense for me to buy though.[/COLOR]

You can also give them a cat litter box with sand and DE. They will love it!
My silkies are in a building with dirt floor covered in 4 inches of sand. They have a big box of alfafa hay that some pile in to sleep. Most chose to sleep in a pile on the sand. My LF have a huge run with natural sand and a coop with hay to roast in.
Just a quick pic (that took 2 hours to upload here!), of my 4.5 week olds. This was only their second trip outside, and it amazes me how their instincts about predators kicks in! A Lunar moth came flying over the X-pen, and swooped in on them. Woody, the Partridge boy on the left, let out a warning screech, and they all hit the ground, face first and on their bellies, with their wings stretched out, and FROZE! 
Wow that must have been so funny talk about perfect timing. I guess that only happens while their crests are still small and while they can still see, I frighten some of my hens when I reach down and touch them I guess they don't see me standing there.If I hadn't seen it happen and walked up onto that scene, I would've thought I had 6 dead chicks! Oh my, was that hilarious!!
The Partridge girl on the right is out of a Splash mom, yes, I watched her lay it! Can't wait to see what color she turns into, she is so much paler in her background color than the rest of my Parti kids. She also has some nice stenciling on her wings, which you probably can't see here..
You've got a bunch of beauties there!! Love that light parti! I wish you had a video of that moth attack!If I hadn't seen it happen and walked up onto that scene, I would've thought I had 6 dead chicks! Oh my, was that hilarious!!
