Hiya! chicken mom of 3 beautiful girls. I accidentally bought some paper fluff instead of hemp (like the kind that you would use in a Guinea pig or rabbit cage) and I was wondering if it would be safe for to use in their coop? I don’t really want to use the pine shavings anymore after hearing...
I tried covering the run for a little while. They didn’t even want to be in the coop, they were all outside in the run and just making these terrible sounds. It’s subsided a little today, but still… my poor babies. I’ve been giving them extra love and pets.
