Ok I have a question. I work at farm and we are thinking about using paper we have in the office shredded for the hen boxes. Any feed back on this idea would be great.
This is one of those topics that comes up from time to time.
Several people have posted before that they tried it and the paper basically turns into a soggy mess of 'concreted' paper after a while if used as bedding.
In the nest box would probably be OK, depending on the type of paper and type of ink, AND if your girls are good about keeping the boxes clean.
