Hi, I have never had a problem with chickens eating some of the sand, most of it drops away as the chickens eat. Free range birds will consume 2 or 3 kilograms of earth a year while scratching and foraging and it will pass through them without any problems.
It depends, In June it was really hot and dry and i was watering everyday but July has been cold and wet and I have only needed to water every three days.

Awesome. Thanks so much!
You're welcome! Glad you like it.
Does the sand get caught up in the roots and does it bother the birds?

Most birds actually eat small rocks, stones and gravel to aid with digestion so I doubt it will be an issue
Did you water it every day or just leave it to grow inside?
