i have 4 horses and i am turning one of the stalls into a chicken coop and i read that chickens can not have shaveings or pellits because they will eat them and it will kill them if this is true please tell me.
if there are any kind of bedding that they can have please tell me what you recomend

I use pine shavings, quick-pik horse shavings to be exact. They scratch in them, the odor stays down, it is absorbant, and they don't eat it.

I use pine shavings.The first 2 days lay newspaper on top and sprinkle alittle feed on the paper so they know what their food is.After 2 days remove paper. Will

We always use pine for our horses and are planning on using it for our chickens. I've never heard of it causing any problems.
