I use the type of pine shavings intended for horse stalls.
x2! It's inexpensive, easy to manage, and works great for the birds. Some hay, straw, or other stuff can be added, and clean-out once to three times annually, making wonderful garden compost. Mine comes from the local farm stores; it's available everywhere. Mary
I buy the pine shavings from Wally world.
I only need to clean my small 4X8 coop about every 3 weeks.
I have 8 birds and they have a decent size run.
Cost of the pine shavings is roughly $4.50 a month or a little less for my size coop.

I use hay. Clean it out every 6 months. I just cleaned it out last weekend, and got 10 heaping wheel barrow loads of dirt for the garden.Hay in, dirt out. Great stuff for the garden!

I buy pine shavings from the farm supply store. I can buy them cheaper there then anywhere else. I'm still trying to decide if I like the medium shavings or if I will move to the smaller shavings.
Large flake pine shavings over vinyl.
But I have poop boards under roosts that get sifted out every other day.
Changed out 1-2 times a year, thrown into run.....wood doesn't break down fast enough to put in garden IMO.

In your area, check to see if you can find miscanthus bedding. It may be more widely available there than it is in the US.
