Rural365 Chicken Hemp Bedding - 33lb Industrial Hemp Bale for Small Animal Bedding and Backyard Chicken Coop Supplies

THE WAY TO GO IS WITH INDUSTRIAL HEMP! We have 26 chickens and have previously used pine chips, which are nasty, nasty, nasty, and dangerous to chicks because they contain ammonia, which can kill your birds if left unattended for too long. Hemp is super absorbent, odorless (trust me, you'll only have to clean the hen house once a year), and all you have to do to keep it fresh for your birds is add a thin top layer periodically. This is a fantastic piece of equipment.

I'm blown away by the positive feedback. We bought about ten bales of hemp because it was the cheapest we could find. We have 17 chickens, and I really wanted to like this, but I had to write a review after spending the last two hours cleaning out their coop because it smelled so bad. For the past five months, we've kept the chickens in the coop. We tried the "deep litter method," which entails layering hemp on top of old hemp to reduce odor and benefit the microbiome, but it failed. The stench was revolting, and the moisture clumps were enormous. I went on the internet and found a company called "Carolina Coops" that demonstrated what REAL absorbent hemp should look like: a golden color on the INSIDE of the hemp plant that absorbs moisture. That type of hemp is not available from this company. This hemp is primarily green, with a golden undertone. According to the YouTube video, if there is green, it is the plant's OUTSIDE that is non-toxic. It is absorbent, which defeats the purpose. br>br>As much as I wanted to like this product, I'm afraid I can't. It was a disaster, and I'm still paying for it. Make sure the hemp you buy is golden and free of any dark mixtures, or you'll regret it later.

So far, everything has gone well. A four-foot-by-four-foot coop houses six chickens. This bedding has been in place for nearly three months and has no odor.

Amazing! I've been using it for a little over a year. I begin with a light layer and then add another every few weeks. In the coop, the smell is almost non-existent. Before choosing hemp, I experimented with pine and sand. I've tried a few brands, and this one is the best value for money. The quality is excellent, and it lasts a long time (and I have three coops).

The bedding is perfect for my eight rats and their large cage. They enjoy foraging in it because it is very absorbent and has no odor.

It's difficult to get the bedding out of the bag, but given how expensive this item is, I'm glad it's packed tightly. I'll probably buy it again because it's more convenient to store than straw.

This material is ideal for a coop's deep litter system.

I was thinking about doing this for my guinea pigs' kitchen, but $60 was too much for me to risk when I didn't know how it would turn out. Fortunately, someone must have changed the price by accident, because I snatched it up for $28. Dusty, to say the least. It has a dirty odor and is absorbent for a few days. It's probably better for chicken coops because that's what it's designed for. However, it appears to be a lot of fun for them to kick up and run around in. I'll probably mix it in with the paper bedding I've been using to avoid wasting the entire 33. Prepare your swiffer for the dust clouds if you have indoor pets to use this for.
