Quote: OK, I suspect we are talking two different things here...
Deep litter is for confined birds in a small space?
A paddock situation is acreage conducive to enough forage and bugs to provide adequate nutrition and health without providing bedding...?
At first I thought people were purposely adding bedding to paddocks and that sounded silly... then I realized you meant coops.![]()
I'm not usually dense, but was having trouble following the deep bedding thread as I couldn't figure out why anyone would ever use deep bedding and all the trouble it involves unless they were cramped for space.
