Another vote for pine shavings. They are about the same price at Agway as a bale of straw. I kept them on straw when they were babies in brooder boxes, and it was a wet, smelly mess. 1 bale of pine shavings keeps 16 chickens daisy-fresh for two weeks. Same amount of straw barely kept them for two days before smelling ooky.
