My 2 silkies are due to go outdoors in a week or so I’m just making sure all boxes are ticked
Advice welcome
Such as
What do people put in the nesting part bedding litter trays nesting mats?
What do people put in the main part of the coop also?
Not too worried about what goes in the run an the garden just the main two parts of the coop wanting to make sure everything perfect as my silkies are very much loved thank you

I use aspen nesting pads, replacing when they get dirty. Herbs in the boxes make it smell nice, at least for a human nose.

I use pine shavings in the coop. I scoop daily, and replace completely every year or so. I do add when it gets low. I also mix in some Sweet PDZ to control odor when the coop doesn't pass the nearly-odorless sniff test.

I know you didn't ask, but Healthy Pen does control odor in the run.
