I recently bought Poultry Bedding by Cozy Coup for my chickens to replace those muddy wood chips.Also it is said to prevent mites (which is what I have). And what a revolution. I wanted to sleep in it. It was dry, and quite fine therefore my chickens were having dust baths in it! I use it for the floor of the coup not for nest boxes (I still use straw for that). Its easy to remove droppings, because with a cat litter scoop the clean stuff just falls through the gaps. What a relief, my girls feet are actually clean.
I got this for £6.99 at my local pets at home, but you could probably buy it from any poultry shop.
