不要用干草。我以前也是用干草，以后不会再用了因为
Hay and Straw: These two are not the same. Hay is made of green, tall, grass that has been dried and baled. The tough yellow stalks left over from harvesting grains like wheat makes up straw. Straw, like hay, is sold in large rectangular bales. Both have drawbacks as coop bedding. One serious issue is that chickens can get impacted crops from trying to eat them. Also, both are poor absorbers of moisture and will mold rather than dry out. Additionally, is difficult to clean manure out of a coop layered with hay or straw without removing all of the bedding, too. Years ago, farmers had chaffing machines, which chopped hay and straw into small bits. Although not as absorbent as wood shavings, chaff is acceptable bedding. There is a new product for backyard flocks that combines chaff with a naturally absorbent mineral. It’s more expensive than pine shavings, but the chickens love scratching in it, and the coop stays very dry.
Hay or grass clippings are NOT an ideal chicken coop bedding. The main reason is that they are high in nitrogen, so they can't provide a good carbon/nitrogen mix in the coop that fosters beneficial bacteria and composting. An excess of nitrogen is already in the chicken manure.
此外还有老鼠会偷干草做窝，哪里有干草老鼠就爱去，并且还可能会把老鼠身上的寄生虫病毒之类的传染给鸡......
现在用木屑，鸡很happy |
