Hello all,

only got to wait a couple of weeks for my new , ive gone chicken bonkers and got all my bits that ive read about on here.

Found a helpful place near me in Romford, and have my garden all ready for the little darlings.

I have decided to go with a woodchip and Auboise combo for the run, on top of my grass, also Auboise in the cube, but im not really sure how deep do you put the bedding in the nest box, sorry for the daft question, but your help would be appreciated.

Cheers, Jonny.

I put about 3-4 cm. They then scratch it out to fall through the bars But in the morning there is a good covering.

Well I use hemcore which is the same and put a carrier bag full in which makes it nice and thick and put newspaper under over the hole.

Only one girl sleeps in there now so not much poo so I leave it in several weeks. The hemcore not the poo that gets thrown out daily

 

Same sort of questions I used to ask
