Compared to traditional bedding options, hemp is prized for its longevity. Because of its superior absorbency, it doesn't need to be replaced as often as wood or straw. That's a win for your wallet, your time, and most importantly your flock.
Learn MoreHemp 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 40 square feet with a 2 inch depth.

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.
