Hi Everybody,
I was wondering what is the best bedding to use? I usually use hay, but I have seen In many coop pictures people have wood shavings. Is wood shavings better then hay?

Thanks
 
with shavings your birds will be cleaner and your coop will smell better.
 
Wood shavings smell better, and don't cake up like hay does. We have used hay, straw, shavings and now using the wood pellets they sell for horse stalls. I have to say I think deep litter shavings are my favorite so far. Just put the pellets in the brooder so the jury's out on them.
 
I've used pine shavings in the coop and fall leaves in the run. The chickens really like to scratch for bugs in the leaves!
