Has anyone tried this?  It's small squares of 100% recycled corrugated cardboard, fully dust extracted and bio-degradable.  Only £3.50 for 45 lt bag.

It sounds like a good idea at a good price -will wait to hear if anyone's tried it.

don't know how it would be once it has chicken pooh on it - might be a horrible soggy mess and difficult to clean out. Still have never tried it so who knows 
The little hollow tubes though could provide a little hidey hole for red mite

Was think more about using it in the nest boxes but hadn't thought about the wee red nasties

I've seen it used as horse bedding and it *stinks* when it's dirty and wet.  It is also heavy and not very absorbant, so you get a skum of liquid underneath it (obviously more of a problem for horse who pee - unlike chickens

Im glad you've asked, I was going to buy some the other day with my hemcore and couldnt make my mind up about it.

It just looked as if would be quite cosy in the nest box, and they shouldn't make a mess in there anyway, should they?   Will buy some tomorrow and see if the girls like it

Thats where I was going to put it instead of straw. The girls don't poo hardly where they lay eggs.
