zmurffi Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hiya Another question from a newbie - can someone please tell me what auboise is. I've seen it mention in a few different posts. What is its uses? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Aubiose is a horse bedding that is really absorbant. People use it in the nesting box and in their runs for the chickens to scratch through. If you do decide to use it (makes poo picking much easier!) then your run will need to be covered because it will soak up the rain! Hemcore is another similar bedding material that others use.

K-F-C Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I believe it's hemp based... but you can't smoke it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hen Watch Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Great stuff. Handfull in poop tray sprinkled. In nestbox. Also 1" deep on run floor (which I change once a month). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Check how you say it before you ask for it in a shop. I can't pronounce it I think its Oh-bee-oze ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggienator Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 It is the best thing I thought I'd never need. I bought a bale for the poo tray and nest box in the It is wonderful. Absorbs the liquid poops well and makes poo picking much easier. Makes cleaning the eglu a doddle. I suspect that one bale is going to last my two girls about 2 years, so is not expensive (as I first feared)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend21 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I agree it is great stuff, I put it in nice and thick and the girls make little nests out of it. Agree needs to be covered, my 99 pence ikea shower curtains are fab, 3 cover the run really well. jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
