What is bedding or litter?

Back to blog
Bedding or litter is the material added to the coop floor and nest box in order to absorb odor and droppings and provide a soft surface for your chickens to walk on. The most common material that works well is wood shavings.



There are other materials that can be used, though. Please read about good choices in the related questions below.
