What are these l brackets for

[Ness3103]

my local horsey place where i get all my chicken food etc doesn't have hemcore anymore and i was wondering what i could use instead? they don't stock Auboise either

[Jools]

I sometimes use Easibed - it's co"Ooops, word censored!"r (and cheaper) than Aubiose but it does the job. When I started keeping chickens again nearly 8 yrs ago, the only option I was aware of was dust extracted shavings, so if that's all you can get, then they're fine too. Aubiose is my first choice now though

I prefer Aubiose, but have been told that both products are in decline sue to the lack of Hemp being used in other industries. My local outlet also stocks Chipmunk and Rapport, both of which have good reports.

We had supply issues with Hemcore a few months ago and I switched to Bliss - it is rape straw rather than hemp straw but otherwise quite good. It is a bit harsher than Hemcore but also a bit cheaper. I have gone back to Hemcore now the supply has been restored, but Bliss is a good alternative.

I use a horse bedding called elephant grass, which is made from the miscanthus plant. It lasts forever, doesn't go weird if it gets wet and their run doesn't smell at all. It's not at all fibrous so I'm really hoping they won't get muddy balls on their feet this winter. I like it.

I get it from Bearsden Pet Supplies which is in Surrey or Sussex, I don't know where you are.
