These chickens approve.
quoting nevent1q…vlvyI use coffee grounds as bedding for my chicken coop. It cuts down on the poop smell, makes scooping more like cat litter and helps keep bugs out.
Once or twice a week I go by Starbucks and pick up used coffee grounds because they bag them separate from their other trash.
I put them out on a tarp to dry for a couple of days and then sift out the chunks (and leaves that landed in the mean time). I use a sifter that I got from Murdoch's that sits in a 5gallon buck which works really well.
Then I pour the fine sifted grounds in the coop. I used to mash up the leftover chunks and repeat the drying/sifting process, but as much coffee as Starbucks puts out, it's not an efficient use of my time I now just dump the chunks into the pen and let the girls scratch through it for enrichment.
