roofing felt for floor covering

[mxpres]

has anyone used roofing felt to line a coop floor before adding fresh shavings?I have read that some have used different things,or would roofing felt create a health issue for my pullets?any suggestions would be great,,

I would think that roofing felt could easily be torn apart and eaten by chickens. So my vote is no.

Agreed. Don't use it for flooring.

If you covered it in 3 or 4 inches of good sand, maybe it would be easier to clean than concrete or boards? Dunno, never gave it any thought.

Roofing fel is a good home for for mites. I vote no.

I've heard of people lining the floor with lenolium for ease of cleaning. Makes sense. You could use barn lime too.
