Can you use this in bedding of new chicks?

I sorry, I don't know. I used it on full grown chickens. It didn't harm them.

I have been putting a little bit of this in the aspen shavings for my breeding and baby birds. Cockatiels and conures and It is made for poultry. I only put a little sprinkle to the shavings and mix it. Never had mites.

On the container it does not specifically say to not use with chicks, but since it is a pesticide and kills a large majority of insects I would not advise it till the chicks have fledged out.

hmmm, I don't know and I haven't been in chicken houses before, but I don't see why not. The cats love it (both old and young) and it does a great job with odor control. We would use it for our rabbit cage, except he's happy with what we're already using. Sorry I can't be of more help. I'd try it, though.

If your chickens are still babies, yes, as this litter is soft and warm and small animals enjoy snuggling into it. However, adult chickens have a need to scratch the ground for food so a sandy, grassy or clean dirt floor is best for them. Chickens usually live outdoors so try to memic their natural habitat in their play areas. Care fresh litter is an excellent product to cut down on animal respiratory issues because it's dust free and all natural. This bedding material / litter would work well inside the night time chicken coup where they sleep, but not recommended for outdoor, ground use.

I use my peck and play for baby chicks and ducks. I just pick them up and put them thru the top that zips. There is no bottom

you can dry with other bedding items on the low heat setting. Using medium or high heat will damage the waterproof layer.

i spread it on the box spring and along the frame of the bed itself...also along the border of the room...not toxic..have a basset hound and she is in everything,but this stuff does not affect her at all...also put some in the dryer with blankets and sheets..comes off in the dryer filter..

I don't see why not. It is a lot bigger that it looks. I have a cockatiel and he has a ladder, two hanging toys, a Booda Comfy perch, and the two wooden perches that come with the cage. I love this cage. I didn't like the food and water feeders, so I took my ones from the previous cage and set them on the bottom of the cage, in front of the back clear plastic panel. No birdseed mess! Also extremely easy to clean!

If you're talking about chicks from a few days to a few weeks old, yes, I think it would be too big. While the legs will fold up, it still might be too tall. When our chicks were little, we used a small, plastic feeder that was much smaller and designed for chicks. We purchased this one after our birds were a few months old. HTH!

No, they cannot really fit under it and there isn't much room inside for adult chickens either. After I bought it my neighbor told me it was really for chicks not full grown hens. I plan to build something bigger. Hens like to perch a couple of feet off the ground.

No. It's WAY too small for an adult hen- even one. We have used it only for an injured hen that couldn't stand to let her out for a bit, and we use it for our chicks.

This is like being under a mothers wing. It is adjustable in height. Unless your chicks have become too large to get under the highest setting it will work very well. I still have my lamp for overflow but my chicks prefer this brooder/heater.

You would be much better off with dowels and chicken wire. This is such a terrible product that if you kept parrots in it, they would escape to tell other people what a terrible product this is. It's really only fit for organizing clothes on the top shelf of a closet.

No. They say use cotton bedding because most of the other kinds of bedding are treated with harsh chemicals.

Yes, but you would have to put something down on the floor for them. The wire mesh is kind of wide for them. Also, it would be hard to use the outside feeding system because they are so small that they would be able to get out through the holes. We just put feed and water inside and the chicks did great.

Yes, since I am using this as a breeding cage, I cut a piece of veneer skin (thin enough) and slid it in with the divider. Without it the birds had physical and visual contact. Hope this helps. Nicole

Yes! This bedding is the longest lasting of all the kinds I tried. Just do regular changes to keep their respiratory systems healthy and clean. Trust me, you'll forget to change it cuz it really controls odor too well! I had 2 female ratties and they loved to stuff the bedding in their hut and sleep in it. I hope Abby and Grace will be happy in their new home!

Yeah, I think that would be okay if you put it in the center of the bed when using it. It's a great, high-quality product. Our baby is almost one and it still looks like new.
