How is Hemp Bedding different from Hemp Fiber Nesting Pads?Updated 2 days ago
Hemp Bedding and Hemp Fiber Nesting Pads serve two different purposes and are made differently as a result.
The purpose of Hemp Fiber Nesting Pads is to provide a cushion in your nesting boxes, reducing egg breakage and keeping your nesting boxes cleaner and dryer. As a result, pads are made from hemp fibers which are long-lasting, yet soft and pliable. Hemp fibers come from the outer layer of the hemp stalk, like bark. They are durable, stringy fibers that are woven together onto a 12”x12” pad that is resistant to rot.
The purpose of Hemp Bedding is to keep your entire coop clean, dry, and comfortable. It comes from the woody core of the stalk, called hemp hurd for its absorbency. Our hemp bedding is chopped into small chips for incredible softness. Bedding does provide cushion, however chickens often scratch and kick it out of nesting boxes, making the Hemp Fiber Nesting Pads a perfect solution.
