I feel old,...and crazy at times. Crazy, because I still feel young..inside. That probably isn't too crazy. I know I'm not the only one that feels this way at this age. :) Just wish I could still do some of those crazy things I did when I was younger..the good crazy things of course..I did after all, learn something from my past. Some things I wouldn't do again.

First chicks we kept on paper towels for a couple of days, with hemp bedding underneath. After that, it's just been straight onto hemp. They peck at it for the first few days, but don't really eat it. Works great. 4 chicks in a guinea pig cage with 2 inches of hemp on the bottom took about 2-3 weeks before the bedding needed to be changed, mainly because we started them out with an open water bowl. With a nipple system it lasts a lot longer.

From one 150 liter bale of hemp you can fill the brooder about 10-15 times.
