Maybe this guy will bring you one for Christmas, if you've been a good girl.I use straw and so far everything has been OK. Every so often I shovel it all out and replace it. One of these days I need to get a compost bin.

I clean it out periodically, it's really the fresh straw that they like to rifle through for seeds. I do have straw and some bestcob in the nest boxes, no problems there.I've heard straw can build up in the coup and cause problems. Has that ever happened to your hens?

You make a good point... I might look into doing some cooking intentionally for the dogs like @Parront mentioned awhile back somewhere... on second thought that was an in-person conversation... maybe it's on here somewhere too.I have a very old story on that, told to me by my dogs' internal medicine specialist....a patient was switched slowly to hundenflocken and had diarrhea (lots) that couldn't resolve. after a bunch of tests including an abdominal ultrasound, they found a problem that would have killed the dog, they found it only because of the diarrhea/ultrasound. So, sometimes switching can get even more expensive than the food. That said, I hope there's something that works out for you, that's reasonably priced and readily available.
no worries, the spell-corrector has gotten me too! I've only seen my birds peck at the straw, I assume they're looking for, and eating, seeds from the strands. I've never seen them try to eat a strand of straw.That's what I get for posting when I haven't had much sleep. I meant: I heard that straw can build up in the crop and cause problems.
