Coop bedding • 1+ Week Old
Hemp bedding provides an ideal environment for your flock and is an eco-friendly and sustainable choice. Hemp is highly absorbent, odor-resistant, compostable, easily sifted, and a natural insect and fungi repellant. It’s soft, warm and lasts longer than traditional bedding materials, requiring less frequent changing. It’s a win, win—lots of wins.

- HGHeather G.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1/3/25So happy I made the switch
I'm using hemp bedding for my chicken coop. I started with sand which was really nice and easy to clean but fairly dusty and as winter was approaching I wanted something a little warmer. To fill my coop I was a little worried about the cost of using hemp but it is the best! I use a poop tray below the roosting bars and do a quick clean every day with a cat liter scoop. It's super easy to maintain. Now going on over 3 months and the hemp has stayed really nice, no smell, minimal dust and the ladies love it. Since I keep maintaining the liter I don't feel the need to do a full redo of the hemp and just add a top dressing every so often. Highly recommend using this!
Grubbly Farms1/8/25We're so glad you made the switch to hemp bedding, and it sounds like it’s been a great decision for your coop! It’s awesome to hear how easy it is to maintain, and that your ladies love it. The minimal dust and odor control, along with the added warmth for winter, are such great benefits. We appreciate your detailed feedbawk and highly recommend sticking with what works best for you and your flock! Thanks for sharing your experience with us! 💚
- JBJolene B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars11/17/24Great for my show silkies
I've used at least three other hemp products. This one is the best that I've used though. I have silkies and so it's very important for the bedding to be super soft for their feet feathers and I like that you can scoop this because it's so fine like cat litter to get the droppings out. I show my birds and I feel like I won't have to worry about their feet feathers during show season.
Grubbly Farms11/18/24Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review, Jolene! We’re thrilled to hear that our hemp bedding is a perfect match for your show silkies. Keeping their delicate feet feathers in top condition during show season is so important, and we’re glad our bedding can help. Your attention to their care is inspiring, and we’re proud to be a part of their routine! 💚 - JJoleneRated 5 out of 5 stars2/3/255 Stars

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.

Absolutely! Hemp Bedding is excellent for all types of poultry, goats, horses, mice & rats, snakes, lizards, guinea pigs, pigs, cows, and rabbits.
-
Absolutely! Hemp hurd is biodegradable and excellent for your compost pile. It contains high levels of nitrogen, carbon, and other nutrients that improve soil fertility and plant growth.
-
Unlike most trees that would be used as bedding material, Hemp is a fast-growing crop that does not require pesticides, herbicides, or excessive water. 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.
