Ohhhh my chicken chicks are SO happy with this beautiful, soft, absorbent bedding! The minute I switched from pine to this, they flopped in and tussled their feathers. They are sleeping in all sorts of cute poses and hip hop around during the day. Will make deep bedding with this and use in the coop. Im a total grubblies hen mama!

It’s great to know they’re comfy, happy, and having fun in it—what an adorable image of them fluffing their feathers and hopping around. Thanks for making us part of your flock’s routine, and for being such a devoted Grubbly’s hen mama! 💚
- MHMaria H.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4/7/25Great bedding for the coop
Great bedding for the coop. I inherited chickens with the purchase of my home. The previous owner’s used sand. It set off a bad round of asthma for me. I researched other types of bedding and learned that hemp is the best for absorption and low dust. Plus, it’s great for composting. Grubbly Farms has the best value in hemp bedding as well.
I’m so glad I made the choice to switch from sand to hemp from Grubbly Farms!

- DSDenise S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3/6/25first time trying hemp bedding
I have always used pine shavings or aspen shavings for bedding because of the affordable price. I have a new batch of chicks and I decided to try the hemp since it is recommended as the best bedding for the health of chickens. So far I am really impressed with the absorbency of the hemp compared to wood shavings. It is a huge positive in that aspect and it seems like I am able to go longer between bedding changes. I am going to give it a go in my other coop with my layer hens and see how it compares. I am hoping that then benefits are worth the cost. I really like the consistency and smell of the hemp. Happy so far!
Grubbly Farms3/6/25We're so glad you decided to give hemp bedding a try! It’s great to hear that you’re already noticing the benefits, especially with absorbency and longevity between changes. We’d love to hear how it works out for your layer hens as well. Wishing you and your flock a happy and cozy coop! 💚
FAQ
-
Hemp hurd is the woody core of the hemp plant, which is highly absorbent, odor-resistant, and compostable.
-
The frequency of hemp bedding replacement will depend on how you manage your flock. As a general guideline, hemp bedding should be replaced when its full absorbency has been reached. The litter will no longer fluff up when you stir it, and it will feel heavier than dry hemp bedding. The number of chickens you have, the size of their coop, how much time the birds spend inside the coop, and feces management systems will all impact the longevity of the hemp bedding.
-
One bag will cover about 20 square feet with a 2 inch depth.

It also lasts longer than traditional bedding, creating less demand for raw materials.By choosing hemp hurd as bedding for your pet chickens, you are caring for your feathered friends and the environment.

Yes! Hemp bedding is all natural and is safe for chickens if they accidentally consume some of the hemp hurds. Even though hemp bedding comes from the same family of plants as marijuana, it does not contain significant levels of the psychoactive elements found in cannabis plants. Our hemp bedding is suitable for chicks 1 week and older. To reduce the risk of impaction, please provide chick grit to aid in digestion while using bedding.
-
No. Hemp bedding does not attract pests, rather, quite the opposite. Hemp hurds contain natural pesticides calledcaryophyllene and humulene. These compounds enable the plant to be grown without insecticides since they naturally repel pests and parasites.
