Although many different flooring materials are suitable solutions, including concrete, plywood, and linoleum, rubber is really among the best chicken coop floor products. If you have a rubber floor with some bedding in place, you can’t get any better.
The Benefits of Using Rubber in a Chicken Coop

- Easy to clean and disinfect. Rubber mats and flooring are very easy to clean so using potentially toxic chemicals is not even needed. They are super easy to hose off, and if a deeper cleaning is needed, a few drops of liquid dish soap and some warm water will typically do the trick.
- Easy to install and portable. Rubber mats are typically heavy enough that they can simply be placed where you want them, and they should stay put. Others will fit together like pieces of a puzzle, with tight, interlocking seams that will not separate unintentionally. If you decide to move your coop, or if you want to do a deep cleaning, it’s super easy to pick them up and move them.
- They will not rot. Although wood is a suitable flooring option, it isn’t nearly as forgiving as rubber. Moisture and waste will rot the wood over time, forcing you to constantly replace or repair the floor.
- Pest and rodent resistant. Bugs and rodents cannot feed on rubber, nor can they use rubber as nesting material. For that reason, rubber mats keep rodents and pets at bay.
- Safe. Rubber is slip-resistant, so it is a much safer surface than hard concrete or wire, which could lead to serious injury. It is also non-toxic, which isn’t the case for other options like certain vinyl or PVC flooring products. Your chickens will be able to run around their little house with ease if they have a rubber footing.
- Comfortable. Unlike concrete, rubber isn’t cold, hard, and unforgiving. Instead, it will provide a level of padding and thermal comfort for the chickens.
- Durable. Rubber is super durable, and it will not crack, chip, or break like other flooring options will. It also has a long lifespan, so it offers excellent value.
- Protects the subfloor. Rubber will do an amazing job keeping a wood or concrete base protected. If placed over soil or sand, it will help to prevent erosion.
- Easy to cut for a perfect, custom fit.
- Affordable options. There are numerous sizes, types, and thicknesses of rubber matting - many of which are suitable for chicken coop floor solutions - with options to suit any budget.
