The poultry equivalent from the same company is "AubiChick".īoth of these are expensive and available mainly in the UK. The most well known form of this bedding is commercially called "Aubiose", which is horse bedding. To learn more please see my disclosure policy. I only recommend products I have purchased or would purchase myself and which I believe would benefit you. If you purchase a product through links on the rest of this page, I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Both foraging and dust-bathing are critical to chicken welfare ( 1 ), so whatever flooring you use, your flock should have access to a place to scratch around and a dust bath – even if that means adding a dust bath inside the coop to keep it dry.Īnd bear in mind that it may be possible to fence off one part of a large run and create an appropriate flooring just in that area, for a limited time.įor example, block off one corner of the run during the wettest part of the winter until the warmer weather of summer arrives.Flooring that suits a small run perfectly will potentially be too expensive for a larger space. Beyond that, the decision has to be based largely on your own situation.
The "best" is whatever meets both those requirements.The "nice to haves" are a surface that's easy to clean and hard wearing.The must-haves are whatever keeps the run clean, dry and bacteria-free whilst – as far as possible – drying out poop.What are the must-have features for chicken run flooring?
