freespiritbutterfly Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Hi, Just went to my local equine shop that sells chicken feed and bedding etc. I asked the lady if they had hemcore and she suggested Eco flax. Does anyone know if this is the same thing as i have never heard of this eco flax before. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Not heard of eco flax before but I use Flax which is cheaper and just as absorbent. The only problem I have with it is it's ,much more lightweight and so when it's dry (not much problem there at the minute!) it does blow about a bit more to start with. But I've been using it as a cheaper alternative and it's fine Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I use flax as well. It composts more easily than Hemcore or Aubiose. It's very absorbent and keeps the chooks nice and clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
