Why They Work
What makes Terrafibre nesting sheets different
Our hemp is grown by licensed farmers across Alberta and Manitoba. The fibrous stalks are collected after harvest, decorticated at our Drayton Valley facility, and needle-punched into the mats you see here. No chemicals. No synthetic binders. Just clean Canadian hemp — from field to nesting box.
Excellent Moisture Absorption
Hemp's superior absorbency keeps nesting boxes dry — reducing odour, bacterial growth, and the frequency of full cleanouts.
Naturally Antibacterial
Hemp fibre has natural antibacterial properties — inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria in the nest box without any chemical treatments.
Naturally Insulating
Hemp fibre provides excellent thermal insulation — keeping nests warm in winter and helping hens maintain consistent laying behaviour year-round.
Protects Eggs From Breakage
The thick 1000gsm cushioned surface helps protect eggs from cracking and rolling — improving overall egg quality and reducing waste.
Low Dust — Healthier Air
Unlike straw and pine shavings, hemp fibre produces minimal dust — better for the respiratory health of both your birds and you.
100% Biodegradable & Compostable
No synthetic binders, no plastic backing. When you're done, the sheet goes straight into the compost — adding organic matter back to the soil.
ALSO GREAT FOR CHICK BROODERS
New chicks? Start them off right.
Terrafibre nesting sheets make an excellent bedding choice for chick brooders — clean, cozy, and easy to manage during those messy first weeks. Low dust means healthier air for tiny lungs right from day one.
