Re: [CHICKENS-101] Intro. nest and bedding

 

I use pine shavings exclusively. They are very absorbent. I have heard that cedar shavings are not supposed to be good for chickens, but I am not sure why. People have reported that hay gets wet really fast.

We are close to completing a 7x8 hen house with 8 exterior nest boxes and storage. I am trying to decide on nesting and beding materials. I can use cedar shavings, pine chips, or hay. In your experience which would be the better?  Any advise appreciated.
