@bee.jeweled.coop: 🐓Here’s all you need to know about SAND for your chicken coop! 💚 Where do you get it? ✨Check your local landscape company! It’s cheaper and you can get a lot. ✨Have a smaller space? All-purpose sand at @tractorsupply is a good choice! 💚 What kind to get? ✨ Sand has so many names! Ultimately you’ll want a medium grade construction sand that is not too fine and not sharp. 🚫 NO play sand or beach sand! It can cause respiratory issues and impacted crop. 💚 Here are some names to look for: • concrete sand • granite sand • construction sand • arena sand • torpedo sand • river bank sand 💚 Can you use sand INSIDE the chicken coop too? Yes! Sand is a great low-cost and siftable bedding option for use inside the coop. With that said, sand in the coop makes everything really dusty. There are low/no dust bedding alternatives like hemp bedding, coconut litter and coffee bedding that you can use for your coop if the dust is too much to handle. 💚 Why use sand? ✨ Sand drains really well which helps keep the chickens coop and run dry. ✨ A dry space means less chance for bacteria and mold growth. ✨ Sand is super easy to clean with a scoop, similar to a litter box! ✨ Clean and dry sand will not smell or attract insects. Keep sand clean by removing waste and preventing feed spillage. 👉🏼 Still have questions?
