Coffee Ground Bedding For Chickens
I wanted to show you why we switched from pine shaving to this coffee ground bedding for our chicks in our brooders. I think this is a much better option mainly because of the dust that pine shavings make. That's a big one for us. Also, it smells a lot better.
You can find this at Rural King or Tractor Supply. If they don't carry it, just ask them, they can order it.

I think that's perfect. I'll be making good use of that in the future. Not only good bedding but it'll be precharged soldier fly food when it's time to change it out. Win, win.

Win win.
Thank you for mentioning it's available at Tractor Supply. We raised 30 chicks in our house last february, used a trough and pine shaving, and a frame with hardware cloth. The frame "topper" was to keep the cats out, and previously turkey poults in. The dust was terrible, and coated all the plants. We always have several bouts of severe weather, so inside was the only option. Besides a heat lamp, we had a heater blowing on the metal trough for a week. I like the "heat plate" option. It was worth the extra cleaning, as we started getting eggs before 5 months. Possibly from the new breeds "Whitings True Blue" and "Green" (Murray McMurray Hatchery).

Hi, Thank You for sharing your video! I really enjoy using this product! The coffee grounds keep the ammonia and all the bad odors out. I use the coffee grounds, for the chicken coop and the chicks run. It’s unfortunate that the Tractor Supplies store at my location stopped supplying this product, so I started requesting the recycled free coffee grounds from my local coffee shop in my town. I run almost the same process to recycle the coffee grounds and make them safe for my chickens bedding . It’s a process and time consuming but it’s free. I love this new method of poultry bedding!

Yeah. It sucks. My tractor supply can't get enough in ans everyone keeps buying them up before I can get any.
Do you give chicks special grit or just sand..?

Very carefully I suspect. I'm sure you can look the product up and call them. I'm sure they love answering that question.
What's the advantage of it?
