Furiously Foraging
We used untreated pine mulch in our run two years ago. It worked great, but was fairly soft and broke down quickly. This time, we wanted to try something called "Kid Kushion", which is much chunkier and meant for playgrounds.
But oh my! I kneeled down on it in my gardening pants and felt like I was sitting on a pin cushion. It imbeds itself in my cloths and does not feel very good to grab a handful of. I'm so concerned it's going to give the girls splinters and we'll be dealing with bumblefoot. My husband thinks they'll be fine with their tough chicken feet. Am I overreacting? They'll be in the run 24/7 until we can expand, so it will get LOTS of digging and foraging action.
Here's an example photo of the product:
