This might sound funny but once i used the little,bigger than sand,red ants have those little rock pellets?I raided the ant hill.I cleaned it good,got all the dirt out and used that.Works fine,and heavier than sand.

Those are darling

they are really cute!

I just realized I didn't post any pics of my little chicken, next time I think I will use sand. I find it a better consistency to stick the pins in than rice.

very cute.

so cute! I am making more. Usually I use stuffing, but I want to try the sand....

Here is a pic of two chicks. Yea, one is crocheted, but it's cute!

I love your hens. I need to put mine together so they can have a hen party too. I use rice, walnut shells, sand, . Thanks for sharing these. I love them.

I wish we could get together and have one big hen party.
