experiment with bedding

I haven't seen in PA either! Looks good!

Wow. The shipping is expensive! I sure hope you like using it.
Because the inside of my coop is so small, I have actually been able to make it last longer by just removing the poops with a pair of long tongs before stirring it up. If your coop is small like mine, give it a try. It will stretch the hay for quite a bit longer.

Yes my coop is small so with five bags it'll last me a few years. Only thing I need to do is find a way to store these.

Try a plastic/rubber type of large trash can that seals good or a metal one that has a good sealing lid without rust. that would be my first two choices because they would be good to use for feed once their empty and other simmilar uses if not they could be used as replacement trash cans, face it they don't last forever.....

Have any of you using it noticed your chickens eating it? I put it in on the floor of my coop (I have 9 bantams in the coop) they seem to be eating it. ???

It's probably full of grass seed.

I searched high and low for Fiber Gold ... but nothing between us and the NC mountains carries it.

I guess I will settle until someone wises up

I have talked to my DH more about infusing (maybe with lavender?) some oil and lightly coating the straw we have to cut back on dust... any thoughts?

Found it in Milford, NH at both Agway and Blue Seal. I love it already.

That sounds interesting. I'd be curious to see what happens if you try it.

Is that fiber gold still holding up good in your coop.having no dust has my interest up.

Hi Vinnie,
Yes, it holds up well. Less dust than anything else I have tried.
