Quick Guide to Common Brooder and Coop Bedding Materials

Thank you! Good info for a first time Chicken mama. Our 4 girls are just about ready to go outside full time. They are about 7 weeks old now & outgrowing the brooder tank we have them in. We were wondering if we could compost pine shavings. Glad to learn this is OK!

Thank you. Great, informative article for this rainy time of year.

The chart was especially helpful.

Easy to follow chart

I love your visual aid! It got the information across quickly and with enough details.

The only thing I would suggest adding would be a warning that hay and straw can be good hiding spots for mites. So people need to be extra cautious about that.

Thanks for sharing!

Good informative page with nice image to start with.
