Switched from straw to pine shavings for the coop floor...

I always used straw because that's what my grandma did, but after 6 months of constant mite issues I finally tried pine shavings. The difference in smell and cleanliness is night and day... no more mites either. Has anyone else had a similar switch that worked better for their flock?

Switched to sand myself... best decision for my birds.

Oh gosh, I switched to sand and my chickens looked at me like I was nuts...
