Can it be used for nesting material for chickens?

it could but a 50 lb. bag of saw dust would be cheaper and do a much better job for nesting material check your local feedstore or tractor supply cost around 10 bucks

I don't see why not, but it is minimally dusty in my experience. Depends on the bag I think. It is very soft and absorbent.

If your chickens are still babies, yes, as this litter is soft and warm and small animals enjoy snuggling into it. However, adult chickens have a need to scratch the ground for food so a sandy, grassy or clean dirt floor is best for them. Chickens usually live outdoors so try to memic their natural habitat in their play areas. Care fresh litter is an excellent product to cut down on animal respiratory issues because it's dust free and all natural. This bedding material / litter would work well inside the night time chicken coup where they sleep, but not recommended for outdoor, ground use.

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.

This would be too small for a large chicken for very long. I use it for silkies with chicks, or chicks that dont need a hen anymore.

I'd say yes. I've had this coop for about 6 months. It works well for my 4 hens. That said, there are a few things I don't like about this coop. The run is small. I don't have the heart to confine my hens in it during the day and I've been letting them free range which puts them at risk from predators. This spring I'll be building a larger run for them t be safer and still comfortable. The coop also is a risk for determined predators like raccoons. There is no lock on the nesting box. Lastly, I had to modify the height of the roosting poles as they were lower than the nesting box. Hens will naturally roost on the highest possible spot within the coop. So my hens would roost in the nesting box and poop in it all night. I raised the poles and it's been fine since. Hope this was helpful.

You would be much better off with dowels and chicken wire. This is such a terrible product that if you kept parrots in it, they would escape to tell other people what a terrible product this is. It's really only fit for organizing clothes on the top shelf of a closet.

There is a metal tray below the roosting area where most of the droppings accumulate.This tray slides out for cleaning.Also 2-section nesting box has removable bottom/floor you will have to clean.Works fine for up to four chickens if you open each day to free range.this coop is way way to small to keep chickens in full time.

No. It seems more decorative than functional. I can't imagine a bird actually nesting in it. I don't think it would even hold up outside due to its construction. I hope that helps!

Now that is a question. Not being familiar with the constraints or requirements of a poultry house, I can't answer. If poultry house is a euphemism for chicken ranch, I don't see why not. It is a well-made, sturdy fan.

Yes. I used the kennel for a chicken coop and made a wire roof on it prior to attaching the cover. Worked great!

This is more for feeding chickens. Idk how you could turn into hummingbird feeder.

You would probly have to add insulation the nesting area has slates in the bottom I added ply wood to the inside for winter also put in wood shaving and straw they stayed warm enough but I also put tarps around there outside pen to keep the wind off them. House probly holds 3 maybe four chickens . Hope this helps

I think it would hold up just fine. You could put a heating pad inside just to make sure your chickens where nice and warm. I have four chickens in mine so they sleep pretty close together I've never had any problems.

It's big enough, but not worth the money, dose not hold up in weather, you can fence off a section of your chicken yard just for chicks, that way they are safe from big chickens and they are still with the group.

It is great for keeping smaller birds out of my blueberry patch. If your chickens are on the docile side, it would probably work, but if you have some big birds that are persevering, I would not spend the money on it. It is not going to have the strength of good old chicken wire.

My guess is you could. The mesh is very fine, would catch any chicken bone easily I would think... I use ours to strain very fine items, like quinoa.

That's what I did. I also had to put chicken wire (i used the plastic kind) across the bottom of the little coop because the hens were digging holes. also I zip tied the 2 sections together because the latches didn't work well. now they are pretty secure.

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.
