What is the big advantage of clumping litter? I've used it for
so long that I can't remember anything else, honest... Is it
possible to mix the corn chicken feeder and clumping litter
to get a good but cheaper mixture?

40 lbs. of clump cost about 9$, doesn't it? Is the chicken
litter than much cheaper because it is not as dense?
