YES THINK THE WOOD SHAVINGS THROUGH IT HELPS IT TO STAY DRY.

 

BUT STILL PREFER HEMP CORE LASTS MUCH LONGER

Hi all.

Ive been there, tried everything from straw, easibed, woodshavings, grid floors, but nothings beats some hard work and a scraper.

I do use the versa laga loft dressing in my trays in the stock loft as i dont like spending to much time in there when they are siting as i hate birds coming off there nests, but as soon as the eggs hatch it will be back to the scraper.

IF MY BIRDS CAME OF THERE NESTS WHEN SCRAPING ROUND THE NEST BOWLS THEY WOULD NOT HAVE ANOTHER NEST, THEY SHOULD DEFEND IT WITH THERE LIFES

I agree but you always get one that does and its normally always your best pair for some reason. but i tend not to spend that much time in the stock loft, i feel they are better if you leave them alone. i like to spend the time with the babies, thats where races are won, building up the trust with the babies when they are young.

I've had hemcore down on concrete floor now for 5/6 months, now at the stage that I just turn it over and re-spread. Dry, friable, and no unpleasant smell. Thats been only one bale, and still some left. I want to try Mark II version, instructions say add 5 litre of water per bale, when its on the floor. I want to add 5 litre Virkon to it while its still baled in the pack, and use it dry for everything, floor, nest boxes, nest bowls and baskets.

[Guest puresoontjen]

ive aways used easibed with wood shaveings done no harm to my y/bs

[wilkins]

I think it is cr@p. I use Hemcore mixed with cat litter 50-50

 

thats what i use i find that the best litter i have tried nice and dry

[Pigeondoll]

Used it this year over the winter, for the first time, will continue to use it. i personally felt that it took the chill out of the shed. I also found great help with the dark night as i dont get home till after 5ish which mean i only have time to clean out at weekend,  Excellent stuff.

some of us havent the time to scrape out our birds every day , last year i was working from 7 in the morning and could be home at 7 in the evening but was more likely to be 8 or 9 , and after laying repairing trucks , cars , diggers all day in the cold and wet the last thing i fancied doing was scrapeing my birds out in the dark ! and thats not because i dont like hard work , but this year i changed jobs and spend more time with the birds so i took all my deep litter up and decided to scrape every day . worst move i made . the loft changed the atmosphere was damp and it was colder ect so at the weekend i put down some oil absorbent granules with a layer of easi bed on top and i think its great the loft is warmer and not damp so when your on your knees scrapeing your birds out think of me studying my birds picking them up feeding them tit bits and i know who will be the winner lol

Same with us , in Scotland I tried everything you could possibly use and like you I went back to scraping out with a scraper, when I moved to England Liz always insisted that easibed was the best, I maintained it was a waste of time and money but she always wanted to use it so in the end I told her to use it in her lofts and I would scrape mine out, took me a fraction of the time it took her because she would pick the droppings off the floors every day then she started to favor just scraping the floors and now she insists she would never put anything else down on the floor and scrapes them every day , we do use columbine loft white though and that is just brushed into the floors, looks great , smells clean and costs very little, so she in now a convert to the scraper after years of easibed, the only place we use soft chip [ same as easibed ] is a little drop  in the nest boxes around the nest bowls.

EASIBED THATS WHAT THE USED TO CALL MY OLD BIRD WHEN I WAS A LAD ;D ;D ;D

[BLUERON]

I have to do my cleaning out at weekends so i put easibed down and take all out and put all new down and i found this works fine for our loft.

Also tried it all Easibedding Hemcore sand mixed it 50/50....Once they start dropping there guts on it becomes very messy as in sticking to your feet etc etc......I have now gone on to this stuff http://www.northerncropdriers.co.uk/megazorb.htm... So far i am pleased with it....Trial in error until you find something that suits   :)..
