does any one use pellet stove pellets for the coop

[whitehousechix]

just wondering if it's cost effective, I use them in the horses stalls and love it, and its pretty cost effective, the other stuff I like is bedding sawdust, basically really really fine wood chips from the local landscaping forest products place. thanks in advance for your guidance, LOVE YOU, oh when I bough my chicks they were on pellet stove pellets there, in a water tank ( stock tank)

i use actual bedding pellets- not the wood stove pellets. They are a bit more expensive but they do expand better when wet and they are all pine.
