Can this used for chickens?

In my enclosed chicken house, I only use Aspen shavings on the floor. It has the least dust and no aromatic toxins. For covered outdoor areas with full ventilation, I use either "white shavings" (mostly fir) or chopped straw, both of which are cheaper than Aspen but are either dustier or are more aromatic. To be specific, however, I have no experience with Kaytee Aspen Bedding, only Petco Aspen bedding, so it may or may not be as wonderful as what I'm using now.

I've used Aspen bedding with chickens, peafowl, chicks and small furry animals.

If you wanted to I guess. But I would stick to straw for my chickens. Aspen breaks down too fast and doesn't last long in moist environments. Straw is best, Check your local paper for a supplier. It's usually $1.00-$3.00 a bale. Hay will be more expensive.

Yes. We've used straw (wheat), hay (timothy), shredded pine, pine horse bedding pellets, aspen pellets and kaytee aspen. They all last about the same length of time when being scratched but the kaytee had the least dust and seems less inclined to mold. It is more expensive but with a bit of refreshing it last the entire cold season. We only use it during the cold months when the birds are in the "barn".

Sanitation aside, I do not know as I have never tried this.....however, from my experience with how this cuts, chicken would not be a problem whatsoever........

Sure I don't see why not. I actually use a 10x10x6 chain link kennel for the few chickens I have. I tied a plastic netting over the top so Hawks do not get to them.

This trap can be used in a chicken or peacock coop, however; keep in mind that the unit should not be exposed to the elements. Also for best results, we recommend keeping the plates clear of debris.

Hi---We use ours for mini lop bunnies and the opening is fine for them, so should be fine for the chickens. I actually bought a child's wooden play house from Costco for my chickens. It is sturdier, much bigger, and the materials are better and fastened with screws instead of staples. It was less money too! Since you can stand up in it, it is much easier to clean also.Just add some dowels for perches, and a few nesting boxes, then put some chicken wire in the windows if you want to keep predators out.

Yes but maybe only 1. Chickens need room to move and this doesnt have that much room for that. I have chickens and it is too small for my pets. We have the rabbit in the cage.

Hi! We used it for quail eggs but chicken eggs would also fit. Great product - no problems whatsoever! Good luck !

I have one for Chickens, but I love it, you can move it easily, access to pets is easy. I am getting angora Rabbits and they will go in it, and so I am building a another chicken coop, I would highly recommend.

I don't think it would be big enough for a chicken, unless it is a couple of Bantums. I wouldn't put my full sized chicken in there. I hope that helps.

I have never used it for ducks but it will pluck 3 chickens at a time in less than 30 seconds. So im sure it will do the same for ducks. I have done over 100 chickens with mine and have loved it . Well worth the money.

Don't think so. It's for more light weight stuff like; a couple of whole chickens...that's about it

Yes, I believe it would work for chickens. A few weeks back, I saw a cage at Costco that looked a lot like this one, but was designed for chickens.

Depends on what you use it for. If you are just keeping your outdoor chickens in for the night then it will probably be OK. otherwise it will be too small. They won't have much room to move around. The coop is a lot smaller than it appears in the picture. Hope this helps.

I sorry, I don't know. I used it on full grown chickens. It didn't harm them.

Yes. But I would not recommend this model. This particular Granite Ware is very cheaply made and not a quality product. Despite the drawbacks, it does get the job done for any poultry items less than 3 lbs.

You probably could...it's not as big as it seems in the photos. We have R.I. Reds, and 2 full-grown chickens in there at once is a full house pretty much.

I wouldn't recommend it be used for chicken. The acsess to the lower level is narrow and might be difficult for them to use. However, if your not looking to use both levels then the top half could be suitable for egg laying.
