Wood shavings are absorbent and low - cost Do wood shavings make good chicken coop bedding? Wood shavings are commonly used for chicken coops as they’re more absorbent than most other materials, have insulating properties, are low in cost, are widely available, and can be used for the deep litter method and composting. So here is everything I know about using wood shavings for chicken coop bedding.

Why Wood Shavings Make Good Bedding for Chicken Coops? Below is a list of the many reasons that pine shavings can make a good bedding for the coop.
1.Wood shavings are dry and absorbent Compared to most other bedding types, wood shavings are dry and absorbent, which is incredibly important for coop bedding.
Chicken poop is very moist, and if your bedding isn’t very absorbent, it will turn to a stinking, rotting, slimy mess in no time. The more absorbent a bedding material is, the less smelly your coop will be, and the longer you can go without changing bedding.

2.Wood shavings are comfortable for chickens When you put fresh mixed shavings in your coop, your coop has a wonderful feel to it. The wood shavings are dry, soft, and fresh.
Your chickens will be super excited when you first put the shavings in. They will love walking around the shavings, scratching in them, and even laying down in them.

3. Wood shavings are low in cost Depending on where you live, wood shavings may be the cheapest bedding material you can find (other than free, less absorbent materials like dried leaves and dry, untreated grass clippings).
4. Wood shavings are Easy to store Typically, you buy wood shavings in a plastic bag. You can get very large bags at your local farm store, or you can buy small bags online, like these wood shavings on Trawheel,. Whatever is left over, you can store in your garage, or anywhere that’s dry and above the ground (you don’t want rodents getting in them).
In this regard, wood shavings are much more convenient than straw, in which you may need a separate enclosed, well ventilated shed or facility for storage.
