Frequently Asked Questions

Our nesting pads measure 13" x 13", making them a perfect fit for most standard chicken nesting boxes.

Yes, absolutely! These pads are designed with your chickens' health and comfort in mind. They are made from non-toxic, natural, and absorbent materials that are safe for all poultry types, including chicks and adult chickens. The pads help keep the coop clean and dry, reduce odors, and provide a soft surface that supports foot health. Plus, they’re dust-free and easy to change, making them a safe and practical choice for your flock.

We recommend replacing the pads every 3 to 5 days, depending on the number of chickens and the conditions in your coop. If you notice excessive moisture, strong odors, or visible soiling, it’s best to replace them sooner. Regular changes help maintain a clean, dry, and healthy environment for your flock. For baby chicks or during warmer months, you may want to check and change the pads more frequently.

Absolutely! These pads help keep eggs cleaner by providing a dry, cushioned surface that reduces contact with dirt, droppings, and moisture. A cleaner coop floor means fewer contaminants coming into contact with your hens and their eggs. This not only helps maintain egg quality but also reduces the need for frequent washing, which can help preserve the natural protective bloom on fresh eggs.

Yes, you can! Most used chicken pads made from natural, biodegradable materials are compostable. After removing any large droppings or heavily soiled sections, simply add the used pads to your compost pile. They’ll break down along with other organic matter, contributing valuable nitrogen and carbon to your compost. Just be sure to check if the specific pads you’re using are labeled as compostable, especially if they contain any synthetic layers.

The pads are dust-free, highly absorbent, and designed to minimize bacteria and odor—helping to create a cleaner, healthier living space for both chicks and adult birds. You can use them with confidence in brooders, nesting boxes, or the main coop.

Yes, they do! These pads provide a clean, dry surface that helps reduce contact between eggs and dirt, droppings, or moisture.
