My Favorite Chicken Hemp Chicken Coop Bedding is made of compostable and sustainable materials that efficiently absorb up to five times their weight, making it more efficient than traditional pine shavings. This bedding helps neutralize foul smells and ammonia odors as well. Its low-dust, chemical- and preservative-free formula is suitable for chicken coops, nesting boxes, chick brooders, small animal cages, and other setups that practice deep-litter methods.
