Rice hull (ipa ng palay) is one of the best and most practical beddings for a chicken coop — especially in the Philippines — for several reasons. Here’s why it’s good:
⸻
🪶 1. Keeps the Coop Dry
• Rice hull absorbs moisture from chicken droppings and spilled water.
• It helps prevent mud and keeps the floor from getting slippery or smelly.
• A dry coop means fewer flies and less chance of diseases.
⸻
🌬️ 2. Improves Air Quality
• Unlike sawdust or soil, rice hull doesn’t easily turn into dust.
• It allows air to circulate better on the floor, keeping ammonia smells lower.
⸻
🦠 3. Reduces Bacteria and Parasites
• The sharp texture of rice hull discourages mites and lice from staying.
• A dry environment stops bacteria and fungi from multiplying.
⸻
🪵 4. Affordable and Easy to Replace
• Usually available in rice mills or farms at low or even free cost.
• Easy to spread, rake, and replace every few weeks or months.
⸻
🌱 5. Good for Compost or Fertilizer
• After use, the bedding mixed with manure can be composted.
• It becomes an excellent organic fertilizer for plants and crops.
⸻
🐔 6. Comfortable for Chickens
• Soft enough for chickens to scratch, dust bathe, and rest on.
• Prevents foot problems like bumblefoot since it’s not hard or slippery.
