Yep me too... one contains a 15 Tog duvet, and the other contains 20kg of shavings.

Both are large bags of bedding lol!

Its shredded wood, I was using it as flooring when the chicks were inside, but theres not a "floor" for the current house, they are on perches, is it supposed to go on the droppings tray?

Using it will help absorb the moisture from their droppings  :)
Staffies are softer than you think.

A thin layer of shavings under the perches makes the daily poo pick much easier as you're noy scraping it off the coop floor - less scrubbing in the weekly cleanout as well.

And wood shavings seem to be quite acceptable as nest material - mine haven't complained!
