I've been using hay/straw in the nest box but I've just run into a problem with impacted crop and losing a chicken to it. Upon crop surgery I found about a cup of hay/straw. How crucial is it to have it in the nest box? can I use something else like pine shavings? I know they like it in there but, I'm really worried that someone else is going to eat it and get impacted crop...
