AlisonH Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 My local stockists have stopped doing Hemcore and Aubiose. Can anyone tell me an alternative product to use in the base/nest of the Eglu Go. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I tried a sample of Aubiose but could not get it at the local shop. I was given Rapport instead which seems similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Rapport is OK, followed by Snowflake (in that order) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Easibed is good & have heard easychick is too although I haven't tried it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I can't get Hemcore or Aubiose any more either I've tried easibed, but am now using 'Bliss'. It's the most 'aubiosey' stuff I've come across! Will give Rapport or Snowflake a go if possible, although nothing seems to get down as far as Cornwall. I've been told that it's to do with the haulage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Rapasorb is another possibility (similar to Rapport, I believe, they are both chopped rape straw!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daxigirl Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Bliss comes in eucalyptus or citronella flavours. Never had any flies in the coop in the summer with the citronella smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 another vote for bliss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkysmum Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Curious to know, Alison,. Could you let us know how you found it. Thanks. Alli x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlisonH Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Seems fine, very similar to the others - hens seem happy, although seemed not to be available in such big bags and was more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
