Now that our coop is nearing completion, I'm wondering what to put on the floor. We have a wood floor (4'x5') with linoleum over it. My neighbor uses alfalfa in her coop... she said her dad (a farmer) recommends it because it gives the chickens extra nutrients. After doing a search on BYC, I read that several people think it is dangerous for chickens to eat.
I'm currently using pine pellets in the brooder. I like them, but wonder if they will be too "slippery" on linoleum.
What do you recommend?
