Newchick Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Just wondering what to put in the Eglu? I saw auboise mentioned somewhere, but not sure if that is for the Eglu or the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scramble Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Welcome to the forum I use soft wood chips from a local store in the nesting box in the eglu. I hear lots of people like Auboise and hemcore, which can be placed in the nest box - and the run, I think! We have eracacious compost and straw and some bark chipping in the run as the chickens have eaten all the grass! Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raina Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I'm currently using Straw & Newspaper! But i think i might change it! I love Auboise hemp, Used to use it for my tortoises & rats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Definitely not hay, it harbours parasites and can cause crop impaction. Same with straw really. Aubiose is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
