My girls have a garden shed an I put wood shavings on the floor and in the boxes straw...last week I ran out of straw so had to put sawdust in there....they seem to be great? Alot cleaner girls made a nice nest in them?

easibed.

[Azzdodd]

That's good to know :-) just seems so much cleaner and easy to clean out!

[Rosemary]

Dengie Fresh Bed or Hemcore - whatever I'm using on the floor 

[Foobar]

Wood shavings throughout the coop.   I use the smaller shavings though, not the large ones you get for horse bedding.  The small ones go further / last longer.

[Daisys Mum]

Just started using Hemcore

Hemcore/Aubiose, lovely stuff and keeps the eggs dry not mucky and smells nice. Rots down much quicker and better than shavings/sawdust.

Either sawdust or Fresh Bed, depending on what I have.

Always used wood shavings small size never used anything else but would not say no to trying some of the stuff mentioned, what kind of price are we talking about.

[lord flynn]

easibed (the horse stuff) costs me £8 a bag and lasts at least a month for two largish houses with 7 in each and two smaller ones with 3 birds in each. I put it in the laying boxes plus a bit on the floor of the house. It dries up poop, doesn't fly everywhere, smells quite nice and they like to scratch around in it. I don't use with the horses funnily enough as its heavy to lift when very wet-although I did use it with some success in a stable used as a field shelter.
I preferred the easibed to shavings for the chickens-less dusty too. Have also tried cardboard which was OK but flew round the garden a bit and worked out more expensive. When I move I'm going to use sharp sand in the bottom of the houses, easibed in the laying boxes.
