Description
Aubiose is the gold standard shavings material and the original hemp bedding. Though first gaining recognition by veterinarians for horses with respiratory issues, Aubiose is now popular for almost any kind of animal. It will work fantastically in your chicken coop or for small pet cages. We have two hemp bedding brands: Aubiose and AubiChick. They both work great for chickens. However, if you are particularly dust sensitive, you should go with Aubiose, which is our lowest dust product. The AubiChick brand is a finer particle size, which is super comfortable for your chickens, but since it is a finer size, it inevitably has a bit more dust. Our Aubiose brand is the lowest dust option, and is the lowest dust bedding material on the market. Deep littering this bedding leads to a very economical and quality performance. In most cases, you should only need 1-2 bales per year for an average size coop. The deep litter method is the ultimate setup for coops. A deep litter system is a low maintenance method where you essentially “compost in place”, and only clean out your coop once a year. Rather than a thorough clean-out, you simply add small amounts of hemp bedding as you go, and let the microbial life do the work of decomposition. This allows beneficial microbes to form and keeps your coop surprisingly nice and clean smelling! It is actually cleaner even though it is less work
