Phoebe Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 mine are now on easibed as they destroyed the grass so quickly and they do lots and lots of digging in the easibed, which I kinda think keeps them occupied, so they actually have more fun now. (its very funny to see them all line up to dig a hole, and then all examine it together. they look very similar to workmen ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 After my girls being on the brand new turf for a total of 4 1/2 days, there was so much flattened poo I've moved the whole eglu & run onto the patio . And that's after raking it up twice too . Can't wait till I get my walk in run and can go back to Hemcore . (It's coming a week on Friday, if you're interested .)

I got 3 chickens, and as long as i only leave them on one spot for 4 days the poo isn't to bad and rakes up easy. if i leave it 7 days we are left with a brown patch the same shape as run. I want a walk in run to, lucky you. Claire Gwen Star Belle arrived 14/02/09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge77 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Well it sounds great but i drove around for 2 days in the last school holiday trying to get it from a local supplier, with no luck. Doesn't any one who lives near me use it ? Claire arrived 14/02/09 I only managed to get 'equisorb' (?) from the Hungry Horse near Earlswood/Shirley but is good stuff - i asked for hemcore and thats what she recommened. Take your purse though (or better still someone elses) as there are lots of little chicken extras to buy !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I was recommended Jopack by my local countrywide store. It seems to be very similar to Hemcore and Aubroise (sp ?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Jopack ? That's a new one on me . It's great there are so many different types of horsey bedding out there - less chance of a monopoly!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChickenJo Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 http://www.millbryhill.co.uk/ not sure if anyone has ever used these guys, but it looks like they deliver hemcore and have a special offer on organic layers pellets and mite powder at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tidygirlsuk Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Just been looking at hemcore on the internet, does any who uses it add water to it, like instructions say ? Claire Gwen Belle Star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Just dry - I think it's only wet when used for horses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 i have 3 horses and love hemcore find it better than aubiose(which tends to be slightly smaller chippings) ....No i dont wet it at all as it gets wet by them but i know they recommend it...i suppose if someone has a horse with respiratory problems perhaps advisable then.. Hemcore is less dusty than wood shavings and baled equestrian wood shavings is another good buy as they are usually dust extracted & quite chunky. I was given some big huge bags of shavings by a saw mill once its v cheap but as its so fine it got wet so quickly...so very false economy Love hemcore still how sad!.... indie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
