Nats Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I'm sure I've read somewhere that I can use paper shreddings for the nest box but don't know where I read it so I'd like to check before I do it. Is this ok to do? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggstatic! Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I use shredded paper in the nest box, the person who delivered my said that it was fine to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josephine77 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I use shredded paper too - think it's fine as long as the strands aren't too long otherwise they could get tangled round toes etc. J x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Watch Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I've just started using shredded paper for 3 days now. My naughty little chooks are still investigating it and taking the odd nibble but they should soon stop that. I'm trialling it at present. I'm a HUGE fan of Auboise (or Hemcore) bedding in the nestbox as it soaks up any soggyness and I've used it for 16 months. But have noticed 1 chook with a bald, red bum and from another post on this forum, it might be she is allergic to the Auboise. So I'm giving it a go. Mine is stredded finely and only about 1 " long so if they do eat it, it won't get stuck in their crops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
