shaun Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hello all My ex-bat girls are in a large run, with a mostly earth floor. I know about the horse bedding stuff (will try and get some), but I have four bags of bark chipping left over from someting else. Would this be OK on the floor??

BarbaraJ Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 When i was setting up i was advised against bark as it could harbour mould so iwent for wood chip in the area of my run with no roof and aubiose in the covered end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Watch Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I haven't used bark myself (just grass and move the run, or Auboise in winter). Auboise is great stuff (if kept dry, ie. under a cover of some sort). But I found this recent discussion on the same subject. http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23546&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=%2Abark%2A&start=0 Omlet guide shows the use of wood chippings but it does say can use bark but it goes "mulchy" quicker. See this below. http://www.omlet.co.uk/guide/guide.php?view=Chickens&cat=Eglu%20guide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
