Single hen

[leopardstar]

Any advice on bedding would be aprreciated. We've had our four bantums for over a year now, moving the cube around the lawn which has always worksed well and kept the lawn nice. The last month they have started scratching like mad so we've decided to save the lawn and keep them in one place.

 

I want to put a bedding down in the whole of the run that I can remove and replace when it gets really dirty. I don't want anything that's going to fly away and cover the garden!

Aubiose is my number 1

 

Hemcore second choice if you cant get aubiose

 

Easybed is a similar horse type bedding also.

 

It doesnt blow away everywhere and it coats the poos in the run nicely. The only thing that is slightly annoying is that it sticks to your shoes if you walk in the run.

I am trying elephant grass at the moment

I've used Hemcore and Easibed and like them both. If your garden's very windy, you will get some blowing about! You can try to keep it in the run by cable tieing plastic or lawn edging to the edge of your run.
