AubiChick Poultry Bedding – 20kg AubiChick is a natural hemp bedding that creates a soft, warm bed for chickens and other poultry. Hemp shiv holds considerably more moisture than straw or wood-based products, and that single property drives most of the benefit — a drier floor means less ammonia, fewer respiratory problems and longer between full changes. Because it absorbs more, less bedding is needed to do the same job, which offsets the higher price per bale against wood shavings. It is a natural hemp product grown without pesticides, and once soiled it can go straight on the compost heap, where it breaks down into a good garden fertiliser rather than sitting for months as shavings do. Performance & Benefits Soft, cosy hemp bed for chickens and other poultry. More absorbent than straw and wood-based products, keeping birds warm and dry. Higher absorbency means less bedding is used for the same result. Natural hemp, grown and processed without pesticides. Composts readily into a nutrient-rich garden fertiliser. Drier litter helps control ammonia and odour in the coop. 20kg bale. Suitable For Chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry. Back garden keepers and smallholdings. Keepers wanting a compostable bedding. Coops where ammonia or damp is a recurring problem. Specification Material: natural hemp shiv, pesticide free. Pack: 20kg bale. Care & Caution Store the bale off the ground in a dry place. Hemp is highly absorbent, so it will take up damp from a concrete floor before you ever use it. Spot-clean damp patches rather than waiting for a full strip-out, to get the benefit of the absorbency.
