Hello everyone: Just wondering if I can put wood chips or shavings in the chicken run? My chickens are 14 months old. They have a nice run outside but they have it scratched down to bare dirt. I was hoping to put wood chips down for them to scratch in? Do they eat it? Would it be harmful for them? This is my first year raising chickens. I have eleven - all raised from one day old. They are doing fine except for some feather plucking. Grrrrrrrrr. But they are laying lovely eggs.
Any advice would be appreciated with regard to the wood shavings. Thanks.
