Deep Litter Or Bare Floor?

[chris1984]

im in 2 minds about my loft floor what are the pros and cons of deep litter like easibed or even aubiose and straw or just a bare floor fiberglass or wood i cant make up my mind which is best for the birds health wise.thanks

Will say this for the last time . Deep litter is pigeon $hite and only pigeon $hite. Anything else added to the the loft floor is only added to try and absorb moisture. All open lofts will need a supplement.

Have you tried wooden grills. Great :animatedpigeons:

[greenbar]

easi-bed under the perches & nest boxes ,birds tend to nest in it,

Use whatever suits your available time.

A very good point. I went deep litter last year. Saves a world of time and didn't have any health issues with the birds. Make your management as simple as you can.

i have ply flooring in all sections. even if the original floor was ply , i layed another sheet over it . i like a bare floor in race sections ,especially during the race season . stock usually have a deep litter with easi-bed , prefer this to other floor coverings and makes for easy management in my opinion.

Have had straw on the floor for 40 years.

thanks for the replys i was thinking of puting down a fibreglass floor but i had noticed alot of people use easy bed deef litter i would have thought it would hold moisture thats why i asked.so with deep liter or loft granules does the littr need siffted through regularly. im siding towards bare fibreglass floor with twice a day scraping.

[PATTY BHOY]

Changed from wooden floor to hard plastic. The best thing I ever done ,easier to clean and quicker.

I have a mixture of scraped floors every day and wooden grills. As said on previous posts, as long as it's dry. Many roads lead to Rome AW THE BEST.

Deep litter in my young bird loft has been down for about 4years and it's nothing but sh#t with nothing added no powders the only thing that gets couped into it is the grit that the young birds don't eat which is given fresh daily as I think this helps break/grind the sh#t down to a powder
