hay for bedding

So I bought a bale of hay for my next box and noticed that the bottom hay looks moldy, but it does smell and have webbing like stuff that I usually see. Is mold? If so is it safe to use the the top part that is still good?

Hi friends. I am super allergic to hay, have been my whole life. I have an 8x12 Barn, which is raised off the ground I am building for a chicken coop. They will have a separate run. This question is just for the barn floor. Any suggestions as to what to use on the floor? I really want to use...

Lovely clean pen for my babies tonight ❤️

I have only two hens and two roosters. They are only less than a year old... They've been laying for about three months... now a sudden stop in eggs. They typically lay 2 eggs per day (I can only assume it was one egg from each hen) Only thing I did different is change their bedding from wood...
