Thank you! I will beware!

Oh boy. That sounds like something that would defiantly grow easily in deep litter.
I am prone to getting sinusitis too. Great!

Once you get the litter in place there's not much risk, but beware of adding large amounts of fresh green material all at once. Raked leaves in the fall are super good material too. Oh and my favorite was a certain pine needle long and
soft and golden colored that shed water and looked pretty.

I am sorry you have not been with this "group" as long as all of us have. If you had you would understand the joke behind it... .Some here think I am a bit of a germophobe and buy bleach in wholesale amounts.... The person that was the butt of that joke was me... Because of my tad over the top approach to germs and cleanliness in hatching according to others on this thread...

Sorry, you did not get it and misunderstood the intent...

Yeah they broke the mold before they made Ralphie.....

Ok ok ok. . . talking it over with husband. What If we went and picked up some large flat rock and lay it out to take up some of the volume and space. Then a layer of dirt. . shavings on top of that. That way when I want to clean it out I can just shovel or rake down till I hit rock and it won't get mixed in.
We can usually pick rock up from someone's field for free vs having to buy SO much dirt or rock.
Whatcha all think?

Why would you buy dirt?? Can't you just take it from somewhere else?

Edit: I forgot. You're a city slicker.

Yep. In this case I'm a city slicker. I have no place I can just dig up dirt from without leaving another hole I'll have to fill up.
