Hi there.

 

I filled my new WIR with hemcore today - ahead of my ex-batts which are arriving tomorrow finally!

 

But it said in the instructions to sprinkle the hemcore with water - 1 litre per bale - "to activate it".

Is that right? Or is water just or using with horses? I don't want to get it wet unnecessarily - but if it does need to be 'activated' then I should sprinkle it in the morning.

 

Meanwhile, very excited since new chooks arrive tomorrow (or rather, we go to fetch them rom a BHWT meet up tomorrow lunchtime). New WIR ready for them! Can't wait.

 

Cheers. Donna

no you don't need water as you guessed thats just for horses

As Barbara says, no water required .

Thank you both! I knew I was right to check here. Everyone is so helpul and responsive. I would not be where I am now (about 2 hours to go until we go and fetch our 6 hens) without you lot!

 

Sat here in bed with laptop and my chicken book as a reminder (haven't had hens or a year and needed a bit of a reminder!).

 

Will report back with photos later! Cheers.
