What Sand Brand for Chicken Run/Coop

[katelwil]

I've read through the different discussions on sand and what types are best. But, I haven't seen any talk on specific brand? I'd assume that's because brands are different depending where you live.

My issue is I'm paranoid about buying the wrong one. One thread talked about some sand containing toxic materials that could kill chickens and I'd rather not do that. Lol...

Would anyone be able to help point me in the right directions? Below are the ones that I have found at my local homedepot/ lowes/ace.

I may just be over paranoid but I would appreciate anyone who has input!

I'm a bit skeptical about the green "sand mix" bag, since it contains concrete as well. Is that okay?

I use the Quikrete play sand. It is completely safe and non-toxic.
