Woodchip for Chickens

Woodchip for Chicken Runs

High quality woodchip is a perfect solution for chicken runs.  Our wood chip is sourced locally from virgin, whole tree wood and is free from contaminates.

Here are some benefits of woodchip:

Mud control:
Woodchip creates a breathable, absorbent layer that keeps runs drier after rain and prevents the dreaded chicken-made mud pit

Healthier feet:

Better drainage helps reduce foot problems like bumblefoot by keeping birds out of wet, compacted ground

Natural scratching surface:

Chickens love rummaging through woodchip, which keeps them active, curious, and occupied

Odor reduction:

Woodchip absorbs moisture and manure, helping keep smells in check

 

Pest deterrence:

A loose, dry surface is less inviting to flies and other insects compared to bare soil or wet straw

Weed suppression:

A thick layer blocks light and slows weed growth in high-traffic areas

Insulation:

Woodchip provides a buffer against cold ground in winter and heat in summer

Low maintenance:

Easier to top up or rake over than constantly replacing straw or battling mud
