Using a cereal box for chicks to scratch in

[tdgill]

I put crumbles in the box with some hay to scratch thru, keeps it contained, and is easily disposed of. they like to perch on the edges of the box too. next one i cut i will make a better perch. maybe leave more of the corners for better support or something...they love it

Oh that's a great idea! I've been thinking about using a shoe box in the brooder.

I put a shoebox full of dirt from my garden in the brooder. They go nuts! Scratching and dirt bathing is popular with my chicks.

Of the course the there is a mess to clean up.......but I'll do anything to make these chicks happy!
