AJuff Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 My hen run is ready for a thorough change of Easi bed. I have Easibed on earth and whilst I'm off on holiday i will slab the whole run and have a thinner layer of Easibed on top for ease of changing frequently. My local supplier has had trouble getting Easibed lately and deliveries are very erratic. It seems they can no longer get it. I can't find anything else suitable in my local area!!! Now what? Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I think any of the horse beddings are fine but some have said avoid straw because it can get soggy. I use hemcore which like auboise is a hemp based bedding. What does your supplier have? Why not try different products in turn then come and persuade us?

Falkor Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I am currently using Bliss which is chopped rape straw. I purchased cookie some Bedmax which is like big bits of wood shaving and she is loving it! I have used easibed, hemcore and aubiose. My eglu is on woodchip I prefer Aubiose but the girls don`t seem to mind anything...plus there is no real difference....it all just gets pooped on! Where abouts are you Ajuff and maybe someone can recommend another local supplier to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 They only have wood shavings now and they are not good. I am in Northumberland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Bedmax woodshavings are fab Aubiose is also very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I use Bedmax in the WIR and have done for a while now. The girls love it Just use Easibed in the coop and nestboxes. Shame you're having problems getting Easibed as I find it far superior to aubiose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple hen Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I wonder if there is a supply problem in the north, I have been struggling to find anything suitable recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xScrunchee Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I get my chickeny bits from Here, delivery can make it cost a fair bit but I don't really have much choice as I seem to have trouble getting the bits I need locally. I think I have to choose regional delivery and a bale of Aubiose or a sack of pellets cost about £5 for the delivery. Just noticed that they are closed until 17th August.
