Recommend me a bedding type for large brick chicken coop that i want to clean once/twice a year and use as compost.
I’m moving to a new house that also has an old brick pig stable on the property. I want to section off a part of the stable to use as a chicken coop, and punch a hole
In the wall so the chickens can go outside. I’ve always used straw in a small chicken coop and never had any issues other than having to clean it once a week. I dont plan on cleaning the larger coop every week because the larger volume of bedding dilutes the poop. The internet does not recommend hay or straw for longterm bedding as it is prone to mold developement, rot, housing lice etc. Are these claims just memes spread by ‘homesteaders’ who want to sell their sponsors bedding materials or should i look for something different?
