Newspaper for Chicks

I have had a few people question my choice of using newspaper for chick bedding. The newspaper can be too slick for very young birds. I have found that if the chicks are over a few days old though, I don't have a problem with splayed legs. I try not to get true day old chicks anyway. Most of these guys are already feathering out quite a bit. However, I do not recommend newspaper for guinea fowl until much older, I have learned the hard way on that one.

I like the newspaper. It's free and easy!
