Also... are you using any calcium supplements? If you are feeding only day old chicks I would be very concerned about your females getting enough calcium. I alternate feeding large mice and day old chicks.

I am using mostly chicks with a few large mice thrown in once ina while. But last year abd previous years i was feeding small rats and large mice.

I am looking for any advice I can get. So far i am in favor of FR statement to throw in plastic bags on top or sand and husk mixture. I am going to a horticulture supply store tommorow and see what they have in bulk prices. I have got to try something new.
