Crooked Chicken Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I have just bought a small old tin bath - it's gorgeous - and looks wonderful in the chooks walk in run. Now, what to fill it with? I was thinking a mixture of compost and sand - does that sound OK? or maybe just garden soil with sand added? Any advice appreciated.

muzzie Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I use equal parts play sand, wood ash & DE just keep it dry the ash will block up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I use playsand, DE and a sprinkle of red mite powder to make it smell nice. Compost and sand will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Watch Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I just use dry garden earth. Not essential, but if you have some you can put in a bit of Diatomous Earth (see Omlet shop). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
