New shavings from TSC

[RobbingPeter]

I have been reading about the pelleted pine bedding, I have some questions.

Are these the ones sold as "Stall Bedding"? Do they stay in pellet shape or do they turn into shavings when wet?

Can you give a brand name of the bedding you have been using and liking?

Thank you.

I used the pine pellets from day one and I LOVE them. Yes, when wet, they turn into sawdust, which I thought might confuse the chickies about it being food, but they seem to realize the difference. And when they get food in the pellets, they have fun digging round in them for the crumbles.

VERY low oder
VERY easy maintenance
Zero Dust from chick traffic (now, horse traffic breaks it down a lot faster with more dust)
They only breakdown around the waterer, chicken poops do not break the pellets down.
VERY low wasting as you can scoop out the littered areas instead of dumping the whole brooder
And another plus I think I'm noticing is that the pellets hold heat from the lamp better than shavings will.

I buy the brand called Equine Fresh for 4.99 a bag at TSC.
