Pine Shavings

Today was the big unveiling of the pine savings for the chicks.  I had been using paper towels in the brooder, but thought they must be old enough for the pine shavings.  Apparently newly hatched chicks will eat the pine shavings and die.  My chicks did just fine.  Actually they loved it!  They were tossing it around, scratching it, and even taking "dust" baths in it!  It was funny.

Here is a photo and a video.   They really are having a blast in the pine shavings.

It's kind of hard to see, but the chicks are going wild in the pine shavings.  They remind me of the velociraptors from Jurassic Park (the movie).
