Your first thoughts of the product:
I was surprised how much was in one bag, I thought it was good value for money and I was looking forward to seeing the product.
​
Features at a glance:
Had a lovely fresh pine smell. Wasn't coarse to the touch it had a silky feel to it.

How many chickens are in your set up?
25

Product Pros and Cons
​
Easy to spread into the chicken shed and nest boxes as although it was a big bag it was light. If effective it would be great value for money.
​
The birds were straight in rooting around.
I could smell the fresh fragrance down the end of the garden it was lovely.
​
Conclusion
​
I was disappointed, after just one week the product was sticky. I wouldn't use this product again. It very quickly became damp and clumped together. The fresh fragrance quickly disappeared.
Although it was a very large bag for approximately £10, I went through it much more quickly than my preferred bedding/nest box material. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone with more than 3-4 chickens as it deteriorates rapidly.
