Omlet Smart Autodoor - New in box

At the moment I just use straw in my cheap plastic coop but I'm hoping to get a Cube soon and was wondering what other chicken keepers use. I'll continue to use straw for the nest box, but was wondering if i should consider something else for underneath the perches.

 

So what do you use in your coop?

Aubiose when I can get it and failing that I use wood shavings.

What's a good price for Auboise? I keep seeing it about but haven't bought any before.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Easibed . About £10 a bale.

Aubiose here, £8 a bale I think.

Auboise too or easibed if I can't get it.

Under the perches I just use the weekly local newspaper folded to size. Makes it easy to clean, just fold up and slide into the compost bin. Also in the nest box I use hand shredded newspaper.

 

Cheapest method and I can't see what the advantage is of buying anything else for under the perches.

I use newspaper in the poo tray. I also use it in the nestbox, as I have one girl who just likes to sleep in there The nestbox the girls lay in (in the spare Eglu) does have a bit of straw in it at the moment but they are happy to use it as it is. It's the right shape so they just sit down and lay!

What a great idea for the poo tray! Thank you!
