Coffee ground bedding where to buy

[Savannahbeau]

I've used the rural king brand coffee ground bedding since I started my coop. I am very happy with it. However, it seems like its completely out of stock everywhere right now. I even messaged the company Grounds Power by Coffee to see if they still make it but I never got a response. Does anyone know what might be going on with this product? I don't see a similar product anywhere when I look online. Product link below:

It seems to be a seasonal product, or at least not readily producible so not available as constantly as we would desire.
Some folks gather(from coffee shops) and dry their own.

I reached out to Rural King and they said that it is in high demand and that they are shipping it to their stores as soon as they get it. I check every day online at our local store to try to catch it when they get it. But they have been out for 3 weeks now.

Our Rural King in Dothan, AL told us yesterday that they only receive 1 Pallet on a shipment and as soon as it arrives a customer will call and buy the whole pallet, so it sounds like they would prefer to sell it that way instead of having to stock the shelves

Yea good luck I can't find it in any of the store around here they're always out.

Being new to the chicken thing, I have never heard of using coffee grounds. What are the benefits? What are the drawbacks?

I haven't found any drawbacks to it. It helps minimize smell and you can scoop out the poop very easily with a kitty litter scoop. I scoop out the coop once a day and it takes me probably 10 minutes. It's also a good way to "recycle" the coffee grounds, if you're into that kind of thing. I've never bought any, though. I just dry my own grounds and use that.

Same thing here, I would buy a pallet if they had it. I don’t have a Rural King near me so I must get it shipped when I’m down in Florida near one. I have gone and loaded up my SUV with it.

I love the processed dried coffee grounds seems you can only get it one place. However, one of my renters works at Starbucks and can get me as much coffee grounds as I’d like I would have to dry it myself so that is not optimum, but I am concerned about the caffeine, my girls are all older and pets. I don’t want anything derogatory any comments?

What about the caffeine - does that somehow dissipate during the drying time?

I'm not sure about the Rural King product, but if its "used" grounds - meaning the grounds left after coffee is brewed - the caffeine as well as most of the acid is in the customer's coffee cups. The grounds are safe around your birds.
