Sundown Egg-e-Bed Chop Straw Poultry Bedding with Eucalyptus Fragrance 19kg — Finely-Chopped British Wheat Straw for Hens & Poultry

Sundown Egg-e-Bed is a premium finely-chopped wheat straw poultry bedding, double dust-extracted and fragranced with eucalyptus for a fresh, clean coop. Made from only the best British wheat straw, grown on local farms, Egg-e-Bed keeps transport miles low and quality high. The shorter chopped straw is ideal for the whole coop — and especially the nest boxes, where it encourages hens to nest and lay.

Key Benefits

• Finely-chopped British wheat straw — soft and comfortable for hens

How to Use

Spread a generous layer of Egg-e-Bed across the coop floor and in nest boxes. Replace regularly to maintain hygiene and freshness. The chopped straw is easy to fork out and compost after use. For best results in nest boxes, layer 5–8cm deep to encourage hens to settle and lay. Always remove wet or soiled bedding promptly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Egg-e-Bed made from?
Egg-e-Bed is made from finely-chopped British wheat straw, sourced from local farms. It contains no wood, shavings or synthetic materials.

How is it dust-extracted?
Sundown uses an innovative vacuum double dust-extraction method on every bale of Egg-e-Bed, creating a low-dust environment that is better for the respiratory health of both your birds and you.

Why does it have a eucalyptus fragrance?
A eucalyptus fragrance is added during production to give the bedding a fresh, clean smell — helping to keep the coop smelling pleasant between cleans.

Will it encourage my hens to use the nest boxes?
Yes — the shorter chop length of Egg-e-Bed is specifically designed to encourage hens to nest and lay in the nest box. Many keepers find it significantly improves nest box usage compared to standard long straw.

Is this suitable for ducks and other poultry?
Yes — Egg-e-Bed is suitable for hens, ducks, geese and other poultry as coop or pen bedding.

How should I dispose of used Egg-e-Bed?
Used Egg-e-Bed can be composted — wheat straw is an excellent composting material that breaks down quickly and enriches the compost heap.
