Best Answer

It is often a matter of choice and economy. Straw is absorbent , easy to handle and store in bales. And can be used in the garden later as fertilizer since they compost very quickly. Shavings are slightly more expensive and depending on how and where you buy them can be less convenient to store, but they are as absorbent . They can also be used in the garden in moderation as they do not compost as well as straw.

Can I put straw in the hen boxes?

Yes you can put straw in the hen boxes. Its provides a comfy nest for them to lay in. The more you put in the better.
