The nearest Amish to me are about an hour and half or two hours north.. (I'm in Alabama).. Hubby just picked up a bale of straw this morning from our local supply guy.. seems pretty good shape... if not, he will make it right... :)
I understand that Pine SHAVINGS are safe when used in a well ventilated area.. But what about homemade pine MULCH ? (just the pine cones shredded up) I have 7 hens about 3 months old and we are trying to find a more economical bedding. (A bale of hey is $5 now).. Thanks in advance for any input
