- 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!

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.
