I use hay in my brooders and coops, because I have quite a few of them (3 coops and 4 brooders) and the hay is cheap. I'd spend a fortune if I had to buy shavings! But, when I had just one brooder and one coop, I used pine shavings. Others use sand or wood pellets, its more a matter of personal preference.
Good luck!
Thank you. I don't think I'll use hay though, because I'm worried that they'll lay eggs in the actual coop instead of the nesting box. (I'm deffently going to use hay/straw in the nesting box.)
