Best bedding to use????

Hello char, welcome to the wonderful world of hen keeping

We use Bliss, it's the same as Hemcore and comes as Eucalyptus or Citronella scented.  We use it throughout the coop and on the run, we also use it for the rabbits.  It's much better than wood shavings and bio degrades quicker, it also burns better

Now, don't forget, we need picture of the chicks when they arrive so we can ooo and aah over them

I use hemcore throughout my coops - in their nest boxes and on the floor of the coops, wonderful stuff 

I use hemcore on the floor of the run.  In each nest box I place a couple of sheets of newspaper with some hemcore and shredded newspaper on top, then I place another layer of paper, hemcore and shredded paper on top of that!  That way if they ever poo in the nest box I can just lift out one complete layer and place the whole thing in the compost bin and I have my fresh layer underneath (a good time-saver when you're in a rush).
