We bought a sawmill when we got hit by the hurricane last year here in Florida to try to save the trees we had come down on oir land. Having a saw mill there is ALOT of saw dust and I hate wasting things, so i set up a bucket to try to save as much of the pine dust as I can and decided to try them in my coops. It works AMAZINGLY!
Here is My Instagram Post to see them all
fresh.
I use them in my quail pens, brooding pens, chicken coops, duck coops and so many other places. It works amazing! I always add DE and powered Permethrin to help keep all the unwanted pests away.
I will wait until they start to breakdown a little bit and turn brown to either turn the bedding under and mix it up or add ontop of it. Both methods work great and help keep the coop dryer and build the floor up beautifully. I used to buy pine pellets for my flooring in my coops and they break down to around the same way. But this is just saving money and time for me.
I dont think i will ever go back to any othet type of flooring for my pens. I do use shavings for my egg boxes or hay i may have on hand to just to keep the eggs safe. Alot of my chicken like to go broody on me and the dust is not good for egg protection.
