what type of bedding for chickens
Wood Shavings. White wood shavings (dust extracted, not sawdust) is one of the most popular bedding materials for chickens, ducks and other poultry as they are relatively cheap, very absorbent and easy to use.Shavings keep smells down and reduce ammonia in the air from droppings that can cause respiratory damage and eye problems.t is best to use straw in nest boxes and not for bedding. I would only consider using straw if I had a plentiful / cheap supply of it. Chopped straw is the most convenient to use. A major advantage is that it will compost quickly.
