Hello. I haven't posted in this forum for months - all is well in my chicken world!! - but it's lovely to be back! Just a quick query about using 'Bliss' as a floor covering in a WIR. A friend has 2 bales to give away - free! - and has offered them to us. We've been using bark chippings so have no experience of anything else as a ground-cover layer. Our WIR has a roof and is rainproof at the side - would it be worth trying this 'freebie'?!

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Never used it but I'm sure others do. I'd give it a go seeing as it's free .

[janeears]

That was my thought!! Worth a try, at the very least! Many thanks.

i have just googled bliss and if it is good enough for horses why not for chickens it is dust free and if it is a freebie you have nothing to lose

[janeears]

Yayyyyyy! Many thanks.

I use Bliss in my WIR and it's great. Easy to poo pick and I have 10 very happy chooks who love scratching around in it

[janeears]

Good news, Westie mum.

Well, the new ground covering was laid today - I'll report back in a couple of days how it's faring. My 3 chooks looked rather bemused initially but were soon happily scratching around so hope they approve!
