Bexiboo Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hiya Is it ok to use bark chippings in the run of the eglu? Also I have lots of big apple trees in the back garden which we chop down the excess of and make into chips with a shredder, are we able to use this in the run of the eglu? Thank you.

Christian Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Wood chippings will be fine, but I try and avoid bark chippings as they go slimy and can contain mold spores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckbok Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Maybe used Hemcore or aubiose to be safe? We prefer Hemcore as it's impregnated with citronella which repels flies and smells lovely and lemony. good luck with your chooks whatever you choose.

superjules Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 If apple is classed as a hardwood it's not a good idea because of splinters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
