Miss Moneypenny Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Hi, I'm a bit concerned as my hens seem to like eating the straw from the nestbox and I read somewhere here that it can cause compacted crop? I've just tried some soft wood shavings which they also nibble at! Which is best and should I be concerned??? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmartin483 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 It was bad for as long time. So you would be take step for it. I would be suggest that You have replaced that place and put it there where It will not find straw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
