Hi My Backyard peeps!!!!
I have awesome chickens and I use fake Turf as their nesting material has been easy to wash and very durable but lately I've seen and smelled them so I might want to change them. We started out with straw and things of that sort and it didn't work out I'm thinking of silicone pads.... Anyone think that's not a good idea heat, pecking, bugs, whatever please give me advice!!!

I loved using these:

I used them until my ducks decided to eat them - lol! I HIGHLY recommend them. The hens can arrange them as needed but not kick out the material. I replaced them occasionally if they got dirty, but it is easy just to shake them out.
Yes I recommend these as well! The hens also can’t dig to the bottom of the box with these and lay their eggs on the plywood which can cause cracks.
