The best bedding for our chicken coop! Low odor, no mites, absorbent, clean, and lasts so much longer than wood chips! And no respiratory issues as we see with using sand. 100% recommend.
Hemp pieces are much larger than the last LG bag we ordered. See attached picture: first handful is our recent order, second handful is past order. Went from soft bedding to feeling like wood chips, which isn't nice as nice for chicken bedding. Very disappointed that the product changed without notice.
Fantastic for our chicken coop, we see a definite improvement in cleanliness, smell, and we dont have to change it nearly as often. The chickens seem happier too, we saw an increase in egg laying.
Wonderful replacement for straw in our chicken coop. Smells wonderful, great absorption. the chickens seem to like it a lot. The shipping fee is outrageous, so im hoping we can get a break (we ordered 6 large bags).
Bought in May. It’s now September and I still have some. Will buy more for winter. I do have a small flock of chickens (currently have 5, but 7 was the most I had.) I used it in the brooder for month old chicks. I went through the most hemp from the brooder because chicks kept spilling water and I had a big waterer that had a failed seal. Now, they are outside and I use it in the small TSC producers pride sentinel coop & nesting boxes. I really like it. Eggs are clean. Some of the chickens sleep in the one nesting box (lower than the roost) so it must be cozy to them. I’ve been considering using it for the run for winter to keep their feet dry and warm since it’s a good insulator.
The hemp keep the coop clean, dry and comfortable. The chickens love it! Helps keep them cool in the heat, and warm in the cold. Not stinky like when using staw.
Cheryl Wolfe discusses how Dominion Hemp has changed how Wolfe Pack Farm beds their horses.
Emily Jay, owner of Keystone Stables, talks about the benefits of Dominion Hemp hemp bedding for her horses and her horse farm.
"We did a thorough test of Dominion's Hemp hemp bedding in our two worst horse stalls. After two weeks the results were just as advocated, reductions in labor and ammonia odor and less wasted bedding as a result of easier picking. An added bonus was the extra cushioning effect over traditional wood shavings. We are believers and now use hemp in all twelve of our stalls."
Bob Rombs, Liberty Arabian Farms
"Hemp is much better for the planet than using trees. It’s one of the fastest maturing plants ever and can replace the use of trees for making dozens of paper products, not just bedding.”
Elizabeth Smith, Sunset Valley Arabians
"We have hemp bedding from Dominion Hemp in our barn and we are very pleased with the absorbency and ease of cleaning each day. The stalls have no dust, soft underfoot, less waste and it holds up extremely well."
Sarah Vogeley, Piedmont Search and Rescue-Mounted Team
"The rumors are true; after only four days of testing with our snakes and feeder rats, the Dominion Hemp bedding destroyed the TSC pine shavings."
Beach Rats and Balls
"So glad to be able to switch over all of the animals to a healthier, longer-lasting substrate."
Savage Constrictors
"Small pieces and very low dust, our snakes like it. And we use it for our rats, and it smells super clean. Compared to aspen shaving, hemp has almost no dust!"
Patent Pending Pythons
"I love how it holds humidity; love the way it smells, and is small and softens when wet.
Easy for snakes to burrow and minimal dust."
