Donna Clark Posted November 5, 2025 Share Posted November 5, 2025 I live in north-east Scotland, where it can get very cold in winter. I've always scattered sawdust in the bottom tray and straw in the top tray, increasing the straw as temperatures drop. I clean up poop daily and replace all the sawdust and straw weekly. The hens love the new straw, inspecting it as soon as I'm done. My question is, is bedding necessary in an Omlet coop? None of the Omlet photos show it, but the company sells it. I also use the Omlet extreme temperature blanket in winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
