Would it be ok 2 use cut rushes as bedding for the floor in a coop??
Rushes are not poisonous and are an aquatic type of plant (they like their feet wet). Chop the rushes up (mow and bag or run through a yard chipper shredder) and mix with leaf litter or woodshavings. Use this mix as a bedding in the coop and you will have a deep litter system. Deep litter systems are usually 8 to 12 inches deep...some deeper; others not so deep.
