Chicksoft Poultry Bedding with Mint – 16kg Chicksoft with Mint takes the same cleaned, chopped wheat straw as the original and infuses it with natural mint oil. The mint is included to help deter rats around the coop and to keep the bedding smelling fresh through a longer period between changes — a practical addition for anyone keeping birds where rodents are a persistent problem. Like the original, the straw is dust-extracted and cleaned to keep airborne particles low, which matters for the respiratory health of housed birds. High absorbency reduces moisture and ammonia build-up, limiting the conditions that lead to hock burn and breast blister. Mint also brings mild antimicrobial and insect-repellent properties, which supports general coop biosecurity. Performance & Benefits Premium chopped wheat straw for a soft, comfortable bed.
