RE: Daily chicken August 12
sorry, I just saw this. I am assuming this is solved. I always took out wet bedding and never had to deal with a wet chick. But I would use a towel and dry them as much as I can.
I ended up with pretty deep bedding for them, just kept adding a bit all the time when I felt it was looking like too much poop.
Oh yeah. I changed away from leaves to pine shavings which absorb better and are less dirty. The chicks are puffing up nicely and the baby adds bedding all the time. Right now, it's getting changed about every two days. I just dump the old bedding into the big composting chicken run and it disappears in the pile. The big chickens are awesome at mixing all that stuff!
I just left it in and added as needed. Get them used to scratching and less work :)
