I've never used hay, but if it's fresh/not molded and is not going to be getting wet, then it may be suitable bedding for the coop. I would not put a lot inside since you are going to need to clean out and treat the coop (and birds) in 7-10 day intervals or whenever you are visiting.Yes, so excited they get to live! So, you think it will be to complicated to use hay, or should i just use the shavings? i have both on hand so what ever you think will work best! Thanks so much! Avery
Shavings works fine in a coop too, if they are not getting wet. I would not put them in the run.
I use straw in my runs.
