Switching to compressed Alfalfa straw

[TeenageRooster's Dad]

Just picked up a couple of those at Tractor Supply and they're amazing for bedding!

Minimum to no dust, much cleaner than pine shavings. Plus smells really fresh!

Highly recommended for bedding!

I'll bet it smells good!
Will be curious to see how this works out long term.

Been a day but so far so good. Especially for the baby chicks box, way cleaner, plus they always end up eating some of the pine shavings and that backs em up. They poke at the alfalfa but obviously of no concerns.

Big girl's coop smells way better, no poop smell whatsoever. Surprisingly easy to clean too; mini shovel, grab and go. Usually use my hands, just don't tell my wife....

Looks like much higher percentage of grass, than alfalfa.

Glad it's working out for you so far.
