Hi just a quick question regarding floor covering for chooks. Ive heard several times lately that there is a new wood shaving around think its called sundown red but apparently it contains traces of eucalyptus oil. Although i think its used for horses ive been told its good for using on chooks. It makes cleaning out much easier as the coop smells sweet. I know its all dust extracted and contains bits of straw. Ive always used wood shavings but has anyone had any experience with this with hens.

I saw the sundown stuff last year at the pig and poultry show. They also do a gold or yellow version which is very similar to hemcore. Their stuff seems quite popular  .

Thank you for your reply, does that mean it would be safe to use on my chooks. You never know may even prevent snuffs and sniffles.
