Bed-Down poultry bedding is ideal for poultry smallholders. Our outstanding range of poultry bedding products was developed by experts with happy hens in mind.
Keeping your poultry comfortable and healthy starts with choosing the right bedding, and Bed-Down offers the ideal range of products designed specifically for poultry keeping smallholders. A cosy home for your hens is essential, and it starts with the bedding you use. One of the most critical factors in selecting poultry bedding is ensuring that it’s free from harmful mites, moulds and spores which could compromise the health of your flock.
In the past, many poultry keepers have turned to baled hay or straw from farms. While these materials may seem like convenient options, they come with their own set of problems. Storing large bales can be messy and cumbersome, and even worse, they can create the perfect environment for mites and mould to thrive. This not only leads to unpleasant living conditions but also puts your chickens at risk of diseases.
Bed-Down poultry bedding takes all these concerns into account. The materials used in each product are carefully selected to ensure consistent quality and performance. Our straw is stored in dry conditions and thoroughly moisture-tested before processing, and our softwood shavings are kiln-dried, significantly reducing the presence of harmful moulds and spores. For those looking to add an extra layer of protection, Bed-Down offers fragranced bedding that helps deter mites and flies, while leaving your poultry house smelling clean and fresh.
Bed-Down offers several poultry bedding options to suit different needs. The Traditional and Cozy Chicken bales feature chopped and dust-extracted wheat straw with a refreshing lemon scent, making them perfect for nest boxes. Excel combines wheat straw with softwood shavings for a warm, absorbent bedding that maintains a fresh-smelling environment. Rapasorb, made from chopped oilseed rape straw, is highly durable and absorbent, ideal for use under perches or in runs. For those who prefer shavings, Pure Shavings and Lavender Shavings provide a clean, fluffy bedding option. The dust-extracted softwood shavings are incredibly absorbent, and the lavender-scented variety adds a soothing fragrance to keep your hen house fresh.
