Hi Dawn, Personally I would not use Hay on the floor. Besides being expensive it tends to get moldy. Pine shavings would be better. I do use hay in the nests. As far as the feed goes check the date on the tag. It should not smell bad.

I think it is their feed . They are on Dumor Chick Starter and I find the smell unpleasant. The floor of their stall is dirt and I raked in a light coating of hydrated lime with a thick layer of hay. I am wondering if the hydrated lime is OK to use in the stall and in the run?
