Luvachicken Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Checking their crops daily is a good idea. I put treats on top of my Freshbed because they were hard to spot and made the girls work harder for them - I'm not sure if that made it worse by encouraging them to peck at it.

The Dogmother Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 It usually tends to be down to the chicken developing a habit of eating the bedding (which others then copy) rather than the type of bedding. I have to say that I have heard this about Dengie before.... shredded paper is another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine 😊 I found it really interesting so I hope they get something out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
