    Hi, folks, I'm building a chicken run and I wonder if anyone can tell me where to buy a bale of straw or hay for the floor of the little cabin inside the run - where (hopefully) they will lay the eggs...

    Dont think you will find either here art,never seen either in 5 years.alex on here keeps chickens,I'm sure he will be about tomorrow.
    Maybe wood chips or shavings from a planer might be available or even rice husks which are cheap enough.

    Thanks for your response, Davy. My landlady owns a sugarcane farm near Tanjay - she might have something suitable. There are a couple of furniture makers nearby, too, for shavings...

    If you want straw/rice stalks, go to the rice fields, especially past Mia's in Agan-an, it's harvest time, tons of it along the road, I'm sure they'd let you have it for free. Bailed? doubtful, but DIY, I guess.

    I burn a lot of hay each week. If you are ever in the Bindoy area, I will give all that you want. Just give me a few days advance notice, and I will save some in the dry for you. How much are you needing?

    Hi, just now catching up on this. Thanks for the info - it looks like a nice trip up to your area from Tandayag (Amlan). I'll get in touch down the track when I'm about to get the chooks. I guess, in the old terms, about 2 bales of hay? I've a small SUV to transport bales in...

    Hi Alex. I don't yet know what breed I'm going to get - ones that lay good eggs, as I'm not raising them for meat. Any suggestions? I've got some guys building a run for them, about 7m x 3m, and in that run there'll be a covered nesting area. With the "hay". And can you tell me exactly where Kev the Butcher is located? He's the Aussie one I think, near Sibulan? I've been trying to find him for a while. Last info I had, I turned down a side road beside Kia Motors...
